#33I find it odd that a project to "standardize the NDA" doesn't let me view the template anywhere on the website directly, without giving them personal information
In cases like this, my company name is asfsafasfsa and my email is sadasfsa@safsafsa.com.
I prefer iagree@reallymymail.com, much more convincing - Mailinator alias domain, for those cases where you get "Thanks! We've sent the details to your email." If they block the submission for it, I know that we can't ever do business.

#34Advice from an old farmer: Avoid signing anything. I just started saying, "If you are in need of my services, and require me to sign an NDA, you must cover the legal fees necessary for my choice of lawyer to review it."
Depending on where you're from, being aware of your local intellectual property laws and the like should not take too much effort in my opinion. Whenever I receive an offer/a contract/etc I take a lot of red pen to it and send it back with my comments. Most companies have no problem with this, the ones that do are good to avoid anyway.

Yeah so Docusign put a stop to that.

This sounds great on the first glance, I wonder: how is it taken in practice? I guess it is slightly better than clear refusal...
I've had some success with, "Okay, well what can we talk about without the NDA?" NDAs are hard; there are good reasons for them, but they are too-easily proffered and too-often signed. Where possible, they are far more humane if they have a reasonable end-date. At the end of the day, these agreements (and non-competes/non-poaching clauses), among well-intentioned people, can boil down to the spirit of Stuart Freedman…
That's the exact spirit. "What are you willing to discuss without the NDA?" is one I'll stick in the toolbox.

#38Most ridiculous thing is needing to sign a confidentiality agreement to visit the office to do a job interview

The US mail still operates. So no, nothing stopped.

I wonder how it even works? A contract, to be binding, must have 'value received' as I understand it. What value does the corporation offer? Am I being paid to interview? No? Then there is no contract.
