Also worth noting on his "hire me" page (http://hire.samsoff.es/ http://hire.samsoff.es/):
"I prefer not to sign NDAs. If this is a requirement for you, there is a $10,000 fee to sign your NDA. You will need to sign my consulting agreement. It has confidentially agreement included."
He then has a very simple work-for-hire contract that includes an NDA.
There's something appealing about this approach, because reading arcane contracts while a project is still being spec'ed is quite annoying. So instead he shifts the burden to the client. But, obviously, many clients won't swallow that.
I'm curious if he can make this work.
- rorrr 14y agoI'm pretty sure he doesn't care if it works, he is working on his own project. He is invincible, hence the rate.
- SCdF 14y agoExactly. If the lucrativeness of his side project changes I'm sure his tune will soon follow.
- chmars 14y agoIs this an American speciality? In most legal systems, confidentiality is part of hiring someone. You often sign an NDA nevertheless but its value is mostly declarational.
- roel_v 14y ago"In most legal systems, confidentiality is part of hiring someone." I assume you're talking about European systems, in which case it's not true, at least not to a significant extent. And when you hire a contractor it's even less defined - a contractor can freely talk about what kind of work he did for a company, right down into quite specific detail, without a proper NDA or clause to that extent in the contract.
