When you work for a company, full-time, you become skilled at working at that company. That’s all.
This doesn’t necessarily mean you will fit well in a similar project with a competitor. For creative jobs, like game design, you become skilled (or “talented” if you prefer) when you have the opportunity to interiorize, write, and develop your own strategic way of doing things.
That is hard to reach if you only work in a single company for years.
It’s the struggle, instead, the willpower and hitting your face against walls over and over (also with shitty and personal projects) that makes the talent.
Maradona came from a very poor situation playing at night with a broken ball hitting it against a dirty wall over and over.
The most talented people I know do not fit in the majority of corporations out there.
