    Or acquisitions. I know a bunch of cases where a business unit was broken off and sold specifically to bring a few engineers over to the other company without needing to poach talent.

      But those engineers had to agree to the move. They’re free to quit if they don’t like that deal, or to demand a raise to agree to it.

        Yeah they are included in the negotiations. Usually it comes with a signing bonus and RSUs or options which require a certain tenure.

            Of course not, it just happened to me but what do I know? And people who told me what happened to them but what do they know? We are certainly liars.
