  > share confidential information Valid point. > double-sell their software that you wrote Some are indeed producing some innovative code, and might warrant limiting their pool of candidates to their jurisdiction only, but I don't think this is an issue for 95% of engineering jobs out there. > which requires your local jurisdiction to play ball Yeah, this can be a problem if my local jurisdiction is, say, Russia or Iran. Normally this shouldn't be an issue though?

    > Some are indeed producing some innovative code I think even anything that reveals something about their infra, or customers, would be a problem. > Normally this shouldn't be an issue though? It doesn't have to be impossible, just hard enough to not be worth it e.g. having to hire a foreign lawyer.

    Suing someone who lives in the same town as you is already a giant pain in the ass. Figuring out how to do it in another country? Good luck not being screwed by your attorneys, for instance, or even knowing which type to call! Every country has significant and meaningful differences in legal traditions, laws, procedures, etc. For easy examples, try to figure out how to (actually) make a fraud claim against someone in England, France, Russia, and Thailand.
