I think cases like this can largely be dealt with by allowing non-competes, but only as long compensation continues. Without that the power imbalances are just too extreme.
EDIT: rephrased to make clear I wasn't just referring to base salary.
- tonfa 6y agoA large part of compensation is probably not in base salary, that'd be asking for like a 50% compensation cut.
- skinnymuch 6y agoI was assuming the person meant what you take home. Not just base salary.

- anarazel 6y agoCorrect. Edited comment to clarify. I think there's some possibly quibbling around the edges around what exact would be included, or not. E.g. a rule that bonus / commissions don't have to be included, as long as that doesn't lead to < 75% of previous year's comp would still be ok with me.
- MertsA 6y agoEven just base salary, if that's not something they'll stop paying the second you land a job somewhere else that could be completely reasonable. That'd be an extra 50% on top of whatever other job just to avoid direct competitors for the next year or so. I'd take that deal, and not just because an offer was contingent on it.
