I've never done it but I don't really see a problem with it. Why waste all the product knowledge I've learned for the industry I'm in?ย

As long as you didn't sign a noncompete agreement you should be fine. Research the company and their products before you make the switch. You may be making a higher salary, but do you believe the products/solutions are the best?

In Egypt labor laws prevent companies from implementing non-compete. but companies make you sign it anyways even though if they file a case against you, they will lose it 100% of the time.ย

I dunno why I associate this with being like Kevin Durant going to GSW.

This is very common in Med Device. Reps switch between companies all the time. Doesnโ€™t really seem to be a downside until you become โ€œthat repโ€ thatโ€™s known for switching teams every 2-3 years

Iโ€™ve done it a few times. It helps if your selling in a niche market.

You get to understand the advantages/weaknessesof each product/service and will make you a more deadly deal thirsty sales savage.

The company will expect you to word vomit everything about your old company. And AEs product specialists, marketing will all come to you on the 1s asking for helpย

Itโ€™s a hard one. Usually I will tell my manager that I want to help but my attention is divided with tasks that have nothing to do with why you hired me. I phrase like thisย 

Iโ€™m a new team member and I know you want me to focus on getting ย ramped up as fast as possible so I can hit/exceed quota. Right now I think this should be the priority. My attention is being divided with competitive intelligence requests. I have no problem helping once I settle into the role. What are your thoughts?

The focus will always be sales bc thatโ€™s what they hired you for and if they ask for help later on I only tell them stuff Iโ€™m comfortable with sharing and wonโ€™t get me sued lolย

Most of my roles have a non-compete for 12-36 months. I always redline that in my employment agreements and only had one company come back with NO, so I didnโ€™t move forward.

You are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I personally would confront him.
