Everyone who works for a FAANG or big tech company. Non-competes are unfortunately standard everywhere and I don't know of anyone who isn't like a distinguished engineer/luminary in the field (i.e. someone who can set the terms of their hiring) that was able to successfully negotiate one away.
- Simon_O_Rourke 5y agoBut for more regular Joe's, maybe senior engineers or whatever, the previous employer isn't too likely to incur any costs trying to find out who the next employer was? And I'm not too sure if there's a way for a private company to find out who somebody's employer is. I left a really crappy employer about two months into a three month notice period as it was just pointless drudgery. I just kept a low profile on LinkedIn for a year or so afterwards. Didn't think they would have any way of finding out I joined another company straight away.
