When I was younger, I felt very beholden to my bosses. I felt that they could ruin my life at their whim, by firing me, or writing a terrible recommendation for grad school.
Fast forward a few years and I realize that I can "work for myself" even within a larger organization. Even within an org, the reason I am there can be for my own interests and learning. If they become misaligned, I'll leave.
