I love @nature careers, but I find this one to be mostly gibberish with unrealistic advice. IMO it boils down to this - for your postdoc (or PhD), find a PI who believes *your* success is *the* most important part of their job.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06794-3 …
I don't believe that is true - there are many other ways of gaining independence without this exclusivity. The main issue here is that the need for a PI to obtain grants means that she/he can't have a lab of postdocs working entirely on their own projects - doesn't work.

BUT - and this is important - it is totally possible to work on projects that are (1) within the scope of the lab and the grants supporting that lab, and (2) allows you to gain all the necessary experience and independence needed to be successful in your future career.

PLUS, there should always be space for you to work on your own ideas - only, realistically, not entirely if they are not connected to the rest of the research going on in the hosting lab.
