Yes this 100%! The contrast in my productivity and what I'm able to achieve from company to company is simply staggering, and is usually more a testament to the company's culture fit (with me) than my own technical skills. For example last year I worked as a freelance front end engineer in a corporation building graphic design tooling. I had previous experience in this so initially it seemed like a great fit, but the culture clash between their "everything has to be perfectly designed and implemented" way of working and my ... well, let's call it pragmatism (YAGNI is my guiding star), was so large that I found it difficult to get anything done. Contrast this with my current company where we have a lot of freedom and autonomy to design and build systems, and the end result is what matters: I don't know if it's 10x, but it's definitely on the other end of the scale of productivity.
