It's been a year. Those unenforceable non-competes usually last about that long as do the terms baring you from poaching old colleagues. I'd pay the couple hundred bucks to have my attorney review my previous contract while I was negotiating my new improved salary (you have domain experience...) at the competitor if it seems like the right fit. Begin rant: This is business. I don't know why people in tech seem to forget that so often and feel like they owe previous or existing employers something special beyond the time an effort they are paying for. You don't owe them anything more. Maybe it's because tech is filled with younger folks who have yet to be screwed over or treated like a resource to be used and profited from and don't know better. In other industries people move firms AND take their entire client list with them all the time.
