I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure this is only true if you are looking to compete with the megacorps, which probably isn't the case if you are a startup. It's called a non-compete, because it means you can't work for a competitor. Having to do with tech doesn't make you a competitor.
- warlox 10y agoA noncompete typically bars you from holding any type of related position within a specific radius of your employer.

- dtnewman 10y agoWhat do you been by related position? Would web development for Walmart be a related position to web development for Microsoft, a company that doesn't compete with them? I've signed multiple non compete agreements and they always specify that I can't work for a competitor. I looked up various examples online and couldn't find anything that didn't specifically mention that the restriction on working counts for anything other than a competitor. I'd be curious to see an example that says otherwise. Perhaps you can link to an example of one of the non compete agreements you are talking about?
