    "You say you've been working on some projects for the past couple years. Were these projects for clients? Who were you working for? Nobody? So you don't have any experience with the new technologies."

      Then try this. For the past two years I've been working in a stealth mode pre-IPO, equity heavy compensation start-up, learning technologies and building products I can't tell you about without a NDA.

        For the past two years I have been working on projects which violate the terms of service for five corporations. Were I to publicize my trade secrets, the very best outcome would be that the affected corporations would react to make everything I have worked for completely useless. Or they could sue me. At worst, I could be facing criminal charges. I know this because a guy was working on something similar, and he made news, and the affected corporation reacted to thwart him. [All of the preceding is true.] So I can tell you about my work in confidence, but it might be best for everyone if the details remain unknown.

    Must feel good, not being beholden to any company for that length of time.
