Received a good offer but there's a noncompete clause in the contract. Red flag?

Depends on what you are working on and where, that being said it is often difficult to enforce

Seconding, non-competes are difficult to enforce. Where is the company located? And where are you located? Certain states actually make non-competes illegal.

smart

There’s a non compete in almost every offer. Most aren’t enforceable

If you're in CA, it's illegal to have non-compete

I'd be wary. Even if the non-compete clause isn't binding, they can still make things difficult for you when it comes to finding another job.

I think you’ll be fine. Those are pretty common from what I’ve heard.

I think it depends on what state you're in and what the labor laws are there.

I’ve recently started working at an amazing company, I love everything about it! The culture, the people, the projects, the flexibility. However, the only problem is me really. I’m fully aware that in life there will be some difficult people to work with, but my patience and tolerance has dropped significantly. I hate that because it took so much for me to get to this position of happiness, I’m carrying my personal baggage and might be scaring people slightly. (1/2)

I think leadership in my company is just gearing up to sell:
1. When I try to refactor, organize, or address tech debt in the code, I get heavy pushback with no real justification (they just say “keep it simple”) and no stated initiatives to fix said debt. Thanks, I guess I’m just an impetuous child.
2. Marketing wants “more logos” to attract a 2nd round of investment.
3. No long-term vision for our “product.”
4. Way more personnel,no innovation
