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?

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