It does not answer the question he asks but if he’s as good as he says, he can just refuse to log his hours.

But I can't. I mean... okay I can. I can just say: "no, I don't track my time for you. this is who I am and I just don't track time."

And then they ask: "why?". What should I say then? :|

Well, there are a few real reasons why I don't want to track my time:

1. I just don't like to track time. I know that I'm good at what I do and can finish tasks very quickly. I guess it's a bit like my ego thing I admit. I somehow hate when people measure my every minute...

2. Some days I work very little. Just a few hours maybe. But I do everything that's asked of me. It's just I can finish the necessary things really quickly. And I don't want them to know that. Because then they say: "you are working only 2h per day and you should be working 8h per day".

There are plenty of better startups in US who would want to hire you.
