Has anyone actually fought a non-competet, or am I just supposed to sit on my hands for a year and hope the market doesn't crash? I lost a offer because my current firm is threatening to enforce a 12-month non-compete for a mid-level associate role. It’s clearly a scare tactic to stop turnover, but the new firm doesn't want the legal headache and pulled the offer this morning.

It depends on what state you are in. 6 states have outlawed them:
California
Minnesota
Montana
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Wyoming
Others have placed limitations on them. I think there is also a distance limit, like if you work in New York, you could go to Florida for a year and not be competing. I don't know the exact rules, distances, etc., but it might be better than sitting on your hands for a full year.

I mean that was the agreement. They have the right to fight and many companies will.

Hello all! I am looking for a job in finance/investments, but I’m having trouble attracting attention from employers. I have a finance degree from UGA, but all of my experience (3.5 years) is in sales (tech and real estate), so no relevant internships unfortunately. Any advice on how to market myself better and where I should be looking would be greatly appreciated!

Is it the case here?
