Was offered a Controller role and asked to sign an employment agreement with unusually broad IP assignment language, including provisions that would have extended to work done entirely on my own time and outside of company resources. When my attorney requested reasonable modifications to protect a pre-existing business, the company countered by asking me to agree to a non-compete covering the entire fintech industry — far beyond their actual business of mobile peer-to-peer lending. The two documents (Offer Letter and IP Assignment/Non Compete) provided also contained conflicting governing law. When we could not align on narrowing the non-compete to their actual competitors, the offer was withdrawn. The way this process was handled speaks to how they operate — proceed accordingly.

Question 1
I had a round of SQL based interview with a mix of probabilities and statistics.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SoLo Funds (Lagos) in Feb 2024
Interview
1 HR interview, 2 different technical interviews and with live coding.
It took a pretty long time, and the recruiters seemed unsure of what they wanted, the end was quite nasty and discouraged me. Another team member asked to meet again after I was told I had done the final interview, the meeting was awkward with the recruiter unprepared and looking for an excuse to disqualify me whilst doing a bad job at it. I later got an email that my interview was excellent and I did great but the position had been offered to someone else. It sounded untrue and a cheap excuse to save face.
