Ask HN: Presenting current employer projects to potential employer?

2 pointsby wakkaflokkaabout 7 years ago
Let&#x27;s say you have an upcoming interview with a potential new employer who&#x27;s in an entirely different industry from your current one, and they&#x27;d like you to give a presentation on one project from your past that you&#x27;ve worked on from start to finish. I.E. what was the scope of the problem, how did you go about solving it, etc. To test technical ability, leadership, and presentation skills.<p>If your only projects that are big enough in scope to be a presentation like this are ones you&#x27;re working on at your current employer (and you&#x27;re not aware of any NDA you&#x27;ve signed), how do you deal with the situation? How do you know what is OK to present and what is not, if you don&#x27;t want to tip off your current employer that you&#x27;re looking (in other words, can&#x27;t ask current employer if this is OK)? Is it reasonable to take a project you&#x27;re working on now and change all the details about it, but keep the same gist of it?
