Thing is it's never that black and white. Every business does somethings better than it's competitors, otherwise one of them would have already gone under. It's people that work at both that brimg both businesses forward.

Why do you think big tech big tech companies call as soon as you leave another big tech company?

    We're talking about working simultaneously for direct competitors. You don't do that. You get rightfully fired from whichever company you're stabbing in the back. It's a conflict of interest, period.

    Freelance or contractors hired only for a specific project does not apply.
