Do you turn down jobs if they require a non-compete?

No - why are you wanting to have to jobs or start your own practice? If it's a really good clinic I highly suggest you sign. And if you need another job, consider whether it's the right place!

Yes. Although I understand it's purpose, I believe your previous employer shouldn't hold anything against you after deciding to quit.

I treat it as a red flag. So yes, I turn them down. I just can't risk being jobless for a year after leaving a previous company.

That's what I'm saying. It's not worth it. I did it before and it was a horrible situation.

Yes. I don't want to limit my choice for future jobs and even self-employment. Even if it's only for a year or two. That's too much time wasted.

Yes because it doesn't make any sense to me. Well, it kind of does. But why would someone sign an agreement that would limit their job mobility in the future?

Yes, I do. I feel like it bites me in the long run. It keeps your stuck to one place and what if don't like being there at one point.

Nope. But I think it depends on the number of years required in the clause. I'd do it if it's reasonable.

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise. Given the minimum wage, I make about $5 over but that hasn’t really changed to match inflation of living, etc and truly feel like I should be making a decent amount more given my skills. Any helpful advice?
