I find the opposite to be true.
The bigger projects I expect a certain amount of issues. But most of the larger projects come with a larger budget. Larger budget means better quality equipment that plays better together and is less prone to failure. You also expect a certain amount of headache/frustration and can bake that into your bid.
It is the little jobs where you compromise that prove to be problematic, frustrating and less profitable.
For $1,000 it is hard to handle getting kicked in the balls, for $100,000 the idea becomes more palatable.
I was going to say the same thing. I once had lunch with a customer I was doing a big retro for, a very wealthy guy, and I remember him saying, "a large job is easier to run than a small job". I'd think of that every time I shot myself in the foot trying to make some budget-based idea work.
