I recently took a remote job as I needed it for some stability. Normally, I much rather stay self employed but for now, I need the steady paycheck.

I was able to get a full time salaried job that was remote and exactly what I was looking for.

However, upon my first day (today) I found out I need to sign a non compete. It also mentions an invention disclosure if I ideate it

This has me a bit concerned as I have a startup (in hibernation for now) that I worry could be at risk if I signed it.

I really do not want to forego this position, as I currently really need it. But I also would not like to see my startup get kicked to the curb because of it. One thing I’m also not sure of is my employer is in a different state than I am, so which states non compete laws would be enforced?
