To a lot of us, career growth and the knowledge thereof is a requirement; we seek to be onward and upward whether in skillset, enjoyment, pay, etc. I have learnt in recent HN thread that this is not as common as I thought [0]. Non-competes are stupid period and thankfully in California are not enforceable. It's similar to a prenuptial agreement in marriage except who the f is marrying their employer?? A good employer wants to keep you, will compensate you to do so, and if they can't, they are proud of you and wish you well, _even if that means a stronger competitor_ .
