If you’re an Apple employee considering leaving the company, there’s a good chance you’ll end up working at Google. This is the result of a study carried out by Light up business (via Mac 9 to 5) which examined LinkedIn employee profiles from technology companies such as Google (Alphabet), Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, IBM, Tesla, Oracle, Netflix, Nvidia and Salesforce. The study looked at employees who work at these companies and who had previously worked for one of the other tech companies.
Using this data, Switch On Business was able to determine how many employees moved from one of the aforementioned tech giants to another on the list and also obtained some interesting data. For example, the company that currently employs the largest number of employees who previously worked at another large technology company is Meta. 26.51% of the company’s employees worked for another tech giant, which is the highest percentage among all major tech companies.
