Darin, >>Can anyone here suggest a reason (aside from the obvious more money/stock options) that high ranking AMAT people are continually moving to LAM?<<

I'm guessing: they'd rather be a big fish in
a small pond than a small fish in a big pond?

Coming from the IBM DD division I've seen the same
thing there. People would sell their IBM experience
at a good price. As a result,the rest of the DD industry
is littered with ex-IBMers. This is probably true
for most industry-leading companies. They are a
training ground and some of their best and most daring
employees leave for instant promotions and salary
increases. The age of company loyalty is over.

Darin,

Jim Bagley, former president of AMAT is courting high performers
from the AMAT ranks to build a stong management team to
develop and grow the Lam business. It takes a core of strong
managers to rebuild and improve a company that has suffered from
the problems that Lam has. Bagley is an expert a building a
business and will go after the talent he needs to implement his
strategy.
Do you know what LAM stands for?
