>'Given that the best way to get a decent startup/VC job is to come out of a hedge fund, I can imagine it hurting people if they can't say where they worked.' Well, for cleared positions there's a pretty standard lingo that allows people to say without saying by referring to a particular address or bit of geography. The restrictions seem mostly about preventing people from making their history trivially searchable by the uninitiated. I would expect there to be something similar for these people? Just say "I was in Suffolk County" or whatever.
