Most NDAs are perpetual.

  That is only enforceable for Trade Secrets -- at least in most of the US. Google would need to prove that the things this employee worked on were "essential to the commercial viability of the business". I totally understand not wanting to poke the legal behemoth, however. As an anecdotal, a personal friend who is a former Googler signed a 10-year NDA, and he had his fingers in quite a few pies. So maybe in 3 more years?

    > That is only enforceable for Trade Secrets Do you have legal citations supporting this assertion? I'm fairly certain this isn't so.

      Mostly based off this quick search: https://www.everynda.com/blog/duration-clauses-non-disclosure/#Trade_Secrets https://www.everynda.com/blog/duration-clauses-non-disclosur... As I said, I definitely understand not wanting to be the one to actually set precedent - that involves getting sued by Google, which is expensive and potentially career suicide. But I think ultimately its probably not enforceable.
