is an non-compete clause really a reason not to live somewhere?

- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoIf you're planning on joining a business to learn the field, then leaving to start your own company in the same domain, then yes, it certainly could be.
- closeparen 3y agoThere might be some circumstances where working under a non-compete is acceptable (well compensated garden leave, very narrow domain you're not that married to, old-school firm culture with expectation of lifetime employment) but overall I think it'd be pretty crazy to try to have a tech career anywhere except California under current law. If you get laid off you're effectively prohibited from earning any income related to your skills for 2+ years.
