Is anyone noticing a trend of getting interviews that feel more like the competition pumping you for info? I interviewed with a small startup that asked me to do a pitch for them. I think they assumed I would outline the GTM plan for my current company, and when I didn't, they blatantly asked me to share my company's marketing material with them. I declined, and now I've been ghosted, of course. This is the third time I've felt like this interviewing for smaller status. Am I alone here?

Yes. This is becoming very normal and s*itty for them to do. Positive is it shows you their company moral compass ahead of time

Very…

Never heard of this happening so blatantly, but yeah, that sounds like exactly what they were doing. There is an expectation at some startups that when they hire people they should bring all their trade secrets with them. That is part of what they are buying in their minds.

Yea, but it was for comp specs. Didnt give it to them and they refused to move me on to the next round specifically citing that.

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable.

I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.
