Did you cross your fingers while signing?? 🤞

Yes. Not enforceable in California. Or at least I haven’t received a notice of being sued yet...time will tell

Haha. That's what I am hoping too once I sign. But I want them to be very explicit that the clause is only valid during the duration of employment with the company.

I did not sign yet. This is for a big finance corp so have to really think long and hard about it.

Likely unenforceable, but doesn’t mean they won’t sue you to make your life hell and make you pay a ton for lawyers.

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role. Would it be a good career decision for someone coming from GRC firms like Kroll, Control Risk or Exiger? I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.
