It depends. It you join a 'work' project from the start it can be very fun too.

Unless you work for a bank. That always suck.

Ownership. The stakeholder for your own project is going to be yourself so you should know exactly what your project does. Working for others means that you probably won't get a stake in see your completed effort established and working.

Because you've never tried to make your projects useful for other people. I have, like, three, marinating on the backburner for a year on average, because I respect myself too much to release them without a proper test coverage and comments and shit, and that stuff is boring.

What >>5 said. I call it conflict of interest.

Probably because your projects are about shit you like, while doing work requires doing stuff you aren't necessarily interested in.
