subordinar-se as condições de outrem
My comment:
usaria esta expressão se mais técnico (ex.: manuais, artigos, leis, decretos) e "dançar conforme a música de outrem" se mais coloquial ou idiomático, muito utilizado por comentaristas econômicos.

My comment:

I was wrong !!!
But
Andar a toque de caixa
is generally applied to children and servants.... Not to financiers
dance to someone's tune
to always do what someone tells you to do, whether you agree with it or not. Powerful local residents seem to have the council dancing to their tune.
