If they want to share information about a project with you, it can happen.

It hasn’t happened to me personally, but I do know other people who have experienced this.

I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to sign anything before interviewing.

I was asked to by a startup one time. It really depends on what they are working on.

It's normal, companies ask process related questions and like to maintain confidentiality and integrity of their offices!

Yup, I had one for Kraken

For kraken they asked me to sign an NDA .. Anyone have any feedback about Kraken work life and career growth?

Got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn, and set up a call to talk about the position. We talked on Tuesday and the call seemed to go very well. She said she would follow up by sending me the job posting to look at more in depth and confirm with the hiring manager that my salary requirements fit the position. I followed up thanking her for her time and expressing my excitement about the opportunity but still haven’t heard anything from her after our call.
Do I follow up again?
