‼️DATING SOMEONE IN COMPETING FIRM‼️Anyone have any experience dating someone that works at a competitor ? I’m a new hire and I’ve been reading the policies and it seems really strict. For ex:

(1) can a person at MasterCard date someone working for a competitor (AmEx) or merchant partner (any company that accepts MasterCard ex: Google) ?

And (2) If they CAN date, does this need to be reported to their leader and HR, etc ? (Most people don’t want their company knowing about their personal life)

I generally date two people. One from a competitor firm and one from a partner firm. That way if one firm does better than the other I don't have all my eggs in one basket.

If you're dating just one person at least diversify your positions.

Pet peeve when someone tells me I’m overthinking

I work at Meta and my husband works at Apple. We don’t talk about the confidential elements of our jobs and know not to pry. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No disclosure, we were married before both of us joined these companies. We live in the Bay Area and I think it’s impossible to avoid FAANG couple status at some point. One minor restriction is we cannot trade each other’s stocks since we could in theory be privy to confidential information. But that’s about it. I imagine this may be different for very senior executives but not at our levels (mid-career).

Update: this question more-so applies to marriage. Not dating

Use your judgement - don’t talk about secret sauce, competitive intelligence.

Is this even a serious question?🤣

I work at MC and my wife works at Visa. No big deal
