I’ve been in situations where clients won’t even discuss the type of work they want you to do before signing an NDA. I’m not talking about project specifics here or anything that would be considered proprietary, they’re asking you to sign an NDA before they’ll discuss anything to do with the project.
There are situations where that might be appropriate, but they’re extremely rare and specific. Most of the time, it’s an indication to me that the project is going to be a hassle.
It could also be a sign that the client is particularly litigious and that could jeopardise future work with other clients in a similar sector. Does that make sense?
