Question about notice period and non-compete clause in job agreement. (discuss.online)

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

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?
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.

it was basically a thing to sign for the gift shares and in it was a bit adding the noncompete to the employment contract you signed with the company. it was really bs. I did not even think to keep a copy of the thing so basically I just know it as a rumor about the thing. Reall lips to asshole move on my and many people at the companies part.

I wouldn't beat myself up for complying.

Take the money and run

oh I have no issues taking the stock. it was a pretty piddling amount though and im more annoyed I did not notice the poison pill. i mean I would have taken it anyway given I doubt any action would come from the noncompete and actually I have been out of work for over a year anyway so I think its moot.
