I’m interviewing for an account lead role at a tech consulting firm. $5M+ annual revenue target. As part of the interview process, the firm is asking for my client names at the account. Would appreciate inputs on whether you would share any names (and/or if you would share redacted profiles). Thanks

Never names. If they don’t understand that, which is unprofessional on their part, do you think you would enjoy working there?

No names. I can understand that they're trying to check your quals. If they press the point, perhaps give a client side title, but no more than that. Generally, there's a client side confidentiality issue here, and specifically, you might run up against a non-solicitation.

What’s the etiquette? I understand not sharing names of client organizations, and that is a data confidentiality issue. But what risk does saying I work with x y z person at client A carry, when they already know you work at client A?

“I’m sorry but I’m under strict NDA with that account. I’d be glad to tell you the nature of what I did there generally but please understand I’m bound to that. Thank you.”
