Which is your home country? Because it&#x27;s the same in mine and the reason is the local market here sucks.<p>I&#x27;ve applied to many companies that required opensource and just flat-told them that I only have private projects to show. So I have a couple private projects that I can share the repo (ask the previous employer about it) and have not been rejected for this. The reason is they just want to see your code, how you write docs, readmes, commits, tests, schemas etc.<p>The &quot;all your code are belong to us&quot; clause is just a negative side of a company. Either don&#x27;t work for them, ask them if you can use their source only to show to other clients, or lie and also work on something else behind their backs that you can show to your next employer.
