Title: I&#x27;ll start.<p>A few years back, I was interviewing at a then &quot;hot&quot; startup. At the end of the process, the CTO calls and says they&#x27;d like to extend an offer. I was expecting him to walk me through the offer details, when he goes &quot;well, are you going to take it?&quot; I asked about getting some specifics (cash comp, equity, etc.) and he explains that they ask candidates to commit before sharing any details.<p>I told him that didn&#x27;t seem like such a great idea, and he assured me that comp wouldn&#x27;t be an issue, and that they do this to avoid hiring mercenaries. I passed and never looked back.
