Client work is its own unique hell of misaligned incentives. You've just replaced one boss with a dozen bosses, all of which have the power to "promote" or fire you.

I'm not saying that any one individual can't find a job that is the unique perfect blend of incentives for them, indeed, the entire point of this framework is that alignment between your goals and the incentives of your job is the most powerful lever an employee can pull. But that incentive structure will necessarily make others working there deeply unhappy as its unique choice of tradeoffs is just shitty in a way invisible to you.
