What would be a fair non-compete for a senior consultant-level position at a large, life sciences-specific consulting firm? Assume 4 YOE at a small, life science boutique with a 1 year non-compete.

No non compete at your level is what’s reasonable. They’re mostly unenforceable anyway. Don’t bother signing it. If you must, keep it as broad as possible because then it won’t be enforceable. They have to be super specific and time bound to work.

The only firm I've heard of doing non-competes for junior staff is Trinity, and I think it's absolutely insane.

Completely agree with others here.

A non-complete is typically quite hard to enforce thus one for any level below leadership (i.e., selling projects to clients) is not necessary and should be attempted to negotiate out.

Trinity has a non-complete that they refuse to negotiate as far as I am aware.

As they’re based in Boston, it’s highly likely it’ll be unenforceable. That being said, definitely worth having an attorney look at it either way. For one of mine, my attorney said to sign it as it wouldn’t ultimately be enforceable.

Op if you’re in Boston let me know. I can send you my attorneys name

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years.

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
