They are basically two questions, but kind of related, so asking in same post

  1. What is the normal notice period in US when resigning? And is it an issue if a company is asking for more than couple of months of notice period?

  2. What is the legal value of non-compete clause in that agreement? That you will not work in the same industry for a set period of time after leaving the company. For example, if you are a software developer working at Netflix, you won't work on any other streaming service / application for set amount of time after quitting / leaving the job.

That's pretty crazy. I think the argument can be made that main skill of Software Engineer is developing software and they can do that in other fields, but for someone like hair stylist not allowed to work in the same field, I can't even imagine that.
