Has anyone encountered issues moving to a competing consulting firm from EY at Manager level?

I ask since they made me sign that document (confidentiality, restrictivel obligations, etc.) that comes through right after promotion.

Was promoted to M in October.
I know EY CAN create an issue for me but do they usually?

What state do you live in? Below executive level (e.g. Partner) in 39 of them non competes are not enforceable. They can hold you up for using IP that is theirs or calling on clients (yours or the firms) but not working in your chosen field.

That said EY managers usually come over here as SC not as managers

Virginia, and this is a right to work state it is not enforceable

Should be fine and generally no issues at your level. Do not take any physical firm IP with you upon leaving. Learning and experiences stay with you. No one is going to stop or sue you if you work at the same client at a competing firm. Just use good judgement and keep client work confidential. Use good judgement on non compete and non solicitation; and they are often not enforceble or too expensive to litigite outside of the exec or partner level.

Thank you!

If they ever come after you you can argue you signed under duress ( fear of losing the promotion or worse your job). It was a mistake on their part not making you sign it with the promotion package.

Interesting. Don't know if it'll fly but good idea. Thanks!

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
