They're mess. I got sued by one employer because I would not sign one.

As an employee you got sued?

On Wall Street they call it “gardening leave”, and it’s usually only a few months. The idea is if you’re working on particular deals they don’t want you to take that knowledge to a competitor. After a few months the deals are done or dissolved, so it’s never been that long. Most people I knew loved the enforced break, and new employers expected it.

This is where California shines.

That depends on whether you are the winner or loser on this question.

In my area, a non-compete clause could prohibit you from working within a 15 mile (or larger) radius from the place that holds the contract.

Judge strikes down FTC ruling. Non-competes are back.

That's why I kept changing countries. Sharing my invaluable expertise with the world was far more important than the petty concerns of national and commercial tribalism. I am a martyr to knowledge!

Yes. I'm pretty sure you'd die for some.
