About to sign on with a new consulting firm, and their onboarding documentation wants me to sign a non-compete which prevents me from joining another firm that does Salesforce work for 12 months after the end of this role... Is that normal? Having a hard time believing that's ok. Coming in as an SC, if that makes any difference. Anyone with experience on this?

not normal. I don’t believe any big firm does that.

Non compete should state that you won't pursue clients you've been engaged with via your previous employer, or x-months, for x-months.

A1 Yep, there's a non solicitation clause in there which seems totally reasonable that addresses this, the other part about not working for another Salesforce firm was the surprising part for me

That’s crazy! What firm did that? Asking you to not go to a competitor in Salesforce industry is literally shooting yourself in the foot

like

Lol I can neither confirm nor deny, good sir/ma'am!

Non-compete clauses are mostly unenforceable. You can always ask a lawyer to read it for you... to get an opinion.

like

Enforceability depends a lot on local laws.

Non competes aren’t enforceable in California

Ask them to remove that or to list 1-3 specific direct competitors. If they don’t, walk.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I thought that was unusual, relieved to hear I'm not crazy for not signing and asking to discuss with them!

Are you in the US? You need to check with a lawyer (it would be worth the $$$) to see if it would hold up in your state (it would not hold up in TX or other right-to-work states). The kind of people that would write something like that are trouble and may signal a toxic environment. Ask more questions and see if you can connect with other people who work there.

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager".

My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this?

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
