I would ask his reasons why he didn't want me to tell the company. I would then use my discretion after I heard his reason. If the person was still hesitant. NO. I don't care if it was 10,000. If he opened up, and I was ok, sure.

I might or might not take the job, but I would tell the person up front that this isn't the kind of thing I'd consider to be confidential. (But I wouldn't pass on who clued me in to the job - no problem with *that* being confidential.)

Another factor in the decision is that your regular job might have a clause in your employee agreement that prohibits such moonlighting. I guess for the purposes of this example you should consider that it does not.

I would weigh the conflict of interest and non-competition agreement factors with the apparent need for secrecy and make a decicision based on that.

I ask the customer why s(he) has seven fingers on each hand.
