If there's as much demand for him as you're describing, he could probably make a much better living doing consulting for these companies than he could working for HP.
- joshmn 11y agoI don't know why I didn't think of this. I'm 24, a bit naive, bleh. I let him know in a text. Thank you. I referred to HN as "my Silicon Valley friends"
- wpietri 11y agoDefinitely. Or, if consulting isn't to his taste, take a job with one of them. In his shoes, I'd also make sure I keep contact information for all his best customers. Because if he gets laid off suddenly, he'll want to go back to them at least to say, "Hey, do any of your vendors need a reliable field service engineer?"
- x0x0 11y agokeeping contact information is probably against his contract, and covered as customer information under noncompetes discovering an interest in being linkedin friends with them is not afaik
- wpietri 11y agoYeah, I was suggesting the latter. The purpose of a non-compete is to keep him from taking information to the competition, so if he merely uses his phone contacts list to get a job, I don't think HP's going to sue.
