I own two companies, I am passively involved with, looking to leave LinkedIn. Considering Apple or Google at this point. Will the employee agreement allow me to accept an offer at either company? How does that work? LinkedIn, I just had to state I was an owner of the companies when filling out the docusign, they don't compete w/LinkedIn. Anyone with the same experience?
Has anyone here ever disclosed this before? I'm curious how much overhead it adds to the hiring process.
Sorry about being a little off topic, but how much income are those businesses generating for you?
I remember disclosing the information only during H1B transfer form fill up. P.S. I didn't own Apple that time.
One of my friends never joined Apple because he owned a software engineering related blog 😒. He was told to shut it down.
Yikes!
Maybe it was conflict of interest? My two companies are not. I just founded/financed and am a director, however I'm not a W2 employee. I don't actively work at the companies.
Just come to Google !
You can take advice from an employment attorney.
Do you have a preferred employment attorney?
i don't but it shouldn't be hard to find one from Yelp, etc.. I know some folks who get their employment documents reviewed by attorneys when making a switch.
Use ProFinder!
I had to sell my company due to conflict of interest. That was part of the deal/offer, i.e. I knew it in advance before accepting offer
disclose and it should be ok
That's what I thought.
