Linkedin Conflict of Interest

General Questions and Comments

Hi all, I am digesting a potential conflict of interest regarding potential connections on LinkedIn. 

I have close contacts at 2 large competing multi-nationals and my moral compass is spinning as to weather i should make connections with individuals from both companies. 

Can this lead to professional suicide?

Thoughts and advice are very welcome. 

Thanks, Shane.

If you know them, connecting on Linkedin is just re-affirmin an existing relationship. It's your behaviour and what you share with them that could hurt you - but that's already true offline.  Can't see a problem, they're just people.
