Short answer what does your employment contract say?
I live in the southern U.S. Non compete clause are 100% enforceable here, and have a ton of case law backing them. I generally won't take a job if it requires me signing it.
I have more than 20 years of experience, and I personally feel I am far more likely to bring knowledge to them rather than then providing it to me.
