Are non-competed enforced if pod blows up?

Currently an analyst at a MM (P72/BAM) and pod blew up recently. Trying to get re-poded internally but wondering if that doesn't work out and I get let go, will the non-compete still get enforced?

If your pod blows up and you don't get placed internally into another pod then they most likely won't enforce for analysts. At the PM level it's less clear. It really depends on the fund: some funds will basically push you hard to take an internal placement, others basically won't care about the churn. If you're at the latter sort of place, and you really don't like any of the other pods, you can just decline all the interviews, take your 1-2 months of severace pay and look for a new job. that's what I did.
