What does that even mean

You would/could be an aggressive client
Excellent question! Aggressive clients are problematic and are never worth the money. I’ll say this from a perspective of having dealt with a very hostile environment with a client. When a company allows their management to create a hostile and toxic work environment, they are more willing to let go of the most talented in the company in exchange, for the most bombastically incompetent individuals to run the ship into the ground (or glacier). These individuals tend to be narcissistic and sabotage, other peoples work, as well as claiming other peoples work as their own. It impedes employee engagement & is destructive to morale. It’s also a legal liability. When management allows this and higher level executives allow this to occur, it’s a risk that other companies should not want to take on. if you consult for a company like this and let your management know about it, and they don’t do anything, they are supporting the hostile environment and putting their employees in a risky situation that could have legal implications. Either way I vote run. Make sure you have everything in writing as it concerns evidence if something does come up. But run leave as soon as you possibly can. Your talent will be appreciated elsewhere and you don’t have to put your health on the line for a job. No job pays you enough to negatively impact your HEALTH!
Consulting likely, he’s saying what if one or both of the PE client and the targets management team are difficult to work with I think

Yup sorry should have clarified a little more.
It can also be an opportunity if you have thick skin. If you’re a bit sensitive and need someone to give you compliments then having this situation is the worst. If you have thick skin and don’t seek affirmation then you might be in a good position as there won’t be that many people able to handle this kind of situation so your value goes up
