Interviewed w/ a partner of a startup by ex-B4 partners. Asked me for all the non-competes during the interview and I told him my clients were confidential but happy to provide later. Was that odd?

It's ok. You can hoesntly say the companies you can't be assigned to due to non-competes. It's what work you did, the technology platforms, problems you solved, etc that is under non-disclosure

Are you sure he didn’t just want to see your non-compete with your firm to make sure joining them wouldn’t violate it? I don’t see that being an issue, nor do I see why you should ever reveal the names of your clients.

Thanks for your thoughts. The partner said he hired someone and couldnt have him pursue work due to a non-compete and couldn’t go after new work. (He also told me he has 160 clients so I’m taking this skeptically)

Yes. I refuse to divulge that stuff in an interview. It means it’s a trap and they’re seeing if you’re a sellout or they have the kind of culture where you are expected to skirt ethics.

What kind of work?

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
