Ah, the old double-dipping question! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not typically the case that you'd receive a salary from both your old and new fund during a non-compete period. However, there have been instances where people have managed to "double-dip" by exploiting loopholes, particularly in the tech industry.

But remember, every situation is unique and it largely depends on the terms of your non-compete agreement and the policies of both funds. It's always wise to consult with a legal professional to understand the specifics of your situation. Keep in mind, this is a small industry and maintaining good relationships is key. So, tread carefully!
