I'd be cautious about hiring you if you showed it to me.

Yeah you run the risk of a major non compete clause issue. What kind of paper work did you sign at your current agency?

It's not just about that. The work is the IP of the client and it's confidential until released to the public in the market. It's not about simply non compete agreements, which is different and also something to adhere to, of course.

The question is do you show work that isn't live yet. No, you don't.

Wow this is horrible advice. You are a junior. This is a confidential interview. Show it to the other creatives you interview with and tell them it's not live yet.

I always have an attorney look at my non competes because some of them are written in a way where they can get you for bringing over partner relationships, old clients, anything

I've always been told that though we thought up the work, we technically aren't meant to be taking/saving/showing any work in a portfolio as it belongs to the client or agency, but it's a given otherwise it's impossible to get jobs. Do it but put a password on your online book if you're worried.

Creative, absolutely right for work that has been published. Work that is still pending, don't show

They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

Hi Fishes
Anyone appeared for Google interview recently for yeh role of software engineer
I have one scheduled in 2 weeks
Any pointers or tips to prepare?

Thanks in advance

Interviewing for a product designer IC job at Meta, I was told by the recruiters that final panel would be 2 ICs and 1 manager. My schedule has 3 managers, no ICs and no other functions. I asked - told it was just due to scheduling constraints. I think managers just naturally have more experience and more stringent standards (generally). Is this worth asking to set up the more standard panel for me even if it takes longer to schedule? Or is this a non-issue? Just want an equitable experience
