What exactly sterling secrets looks like? Suppose I work on a video streaming service. Spent 8 years. Now I know in and out of it. The ffmpeg the queues the buckets the meta data and what not.
Someone hires me. I build a steaming service. But this time I'm much more polished and faster.
Is this stealing too?
- lupire 3y agoThere is not exact definition. Real world is messy.
- noslenwerdna 3y agoDefinitely downloading and uploading company documents to people outside the company counts as stealing...
- bredren 3y agoAs a sibling comment mentions, it depends. If you want to learn more, there is a thing called clean-room development which is a process used to reduce the legal risk of copyright and intellectual property violations.

- pradn 3y agoNo, that would be your government or employer preventing you from using your specialized skills to earn a living. In theory, a competitor can hire you for your skills - but your new employer will make it clear they are "only hiring you for your skills, not your proprietary knowledge". I've see that clause even as a junior employee.
