I’ve worked at some large companies and would say this is wrong. I can’t talk about most of my best examples because they’re still roadmap items.

  You can’t remove the identifying details and talk about the technical challenge and usage in a generic sense? Your system or software is that specific? Can you give a now public example?

    I can, and that’s usually what I do, but there are identifying details about the very specific domain which AWS only has a single product in. So I can talk about architecting a system, about customer feedback and redesigns, but I can’t talk about work I did that will span another three years. I think at FAANG it’s usually fine — most people have good enough examples even without their full repertoire. But at mid enterprise or F500 companies I could see this being a bit impactful.

Sorry, to be clear, I mean can you give an example of something you couldn't use as an example, but is now public. I've worked at GAMMA, and agree, it's very doable to turn my work generic and talk about it in-depth, compare it to alternatives, etc. so that was the main driver in asking for an example.
