Quoted from usandthem:I think that you could only truly pit them one on one of they were working for the same company with the same budget. It's kind of like judging two school teachers, one in Detroit and one in the suburbs. Which one is really better? The one with meager resources and difficult kids (city) who makes some progress or the one with many resources and easy kids (comfortable suburb) who makes just a little more progress? As a school teacher, it's the only occupational analogy I can make.
Except for in this case the company with all the money spends none of the resources while the company lacking all the money and resources puts in everything. It's a weird dynamic.
