It's actually illegal in all the contracts that I ever had to work for someone else while you are employed for a company.
And even if it was legal I would never lose a week salary for some fancy interview that takes a week, plus all the time that it takes to test the other n-people to have an answer.
- iSnow 10y ago> I would never lose a week salary for some fancy interview that takes a week I'd actually love to do that. The company I work for currently presented itself in a very professional light and all the questions I had were answered promptly and professionally. No red flags. Only when I started work, I noticed immediately their code base contained unfixed bugs, tests were not up to date and the databases (so called data-warehouses) were a mess. Unfortunately, the only real good developer was on the interview and answered my questions. During a one-week stint, I'd have discovered enough bad practices that I would have declined the job.

- arethuza 10y agoHaving a contract saying that you shouldn't do something doesn't make it illegal it just means you are violating the terms of the contract. Which if you are leaving anyway might not be that big a worry. Also, particularly with employment contracts, just because something is in the contract doesn't necessarily mean it is enforceable.
