How to Navigate a Job Offer from a Competitor
Briefly

When considering a job offer from a competitor, it’s crucial to evaluate your current situation including any noncompete agreements, access to trade secrets, and potential impacts on your professional reputation.
A poorly planned transition could damage your professional image and relationships, or even lead to legal trouble. It's vital to assess these risks before making a decision.
If you choose to accept a competitor's offer, prepare for the conversation with your current employer, expect questions on managing legal or ethical obligations, and be ready for a potential immediate departure.
Once in your new position, remain vigilant in three areas of risk: upholding confidentiality, maintaining professionalism, and adhering to legal obligations to safeguard your career.
