They're mess. I got sued by one employer because I would not sign one.
As an employee you got sued?

This is where California shines. Short of you opening up a competing business close to your former employer, the state of California generally frown upon non-compete clauses in employment agreements. My Silicone Valley friends like to boast how easy it is to quit one company to take another job with another employer across the street in the same business.

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.

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.

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.
