Employment Offer Terms - Question for Senior Bankers

Question here for the mor senior bankers in the room (if any exist).

I’ve received an offer to jump up to Director and effectively start a new coverage area.  My coverage area is tangential to their current areas, but there is no direct crossover.  I have a couple questions on customary terms of agreements at this level.

  1. The offer has a 6 month post-termination unpaid non-compete.  My previous understand is that a post-termination non-compete should come with your base salary continuing to be paid.  Is that understanding correct?  Also, I’m under the impression that 3 months is a more typical length for this type of non-compete.  Am I in the right ballpark there as well?
  2. The people that I know that have gone places to start new coverage have gotten 1 or 2 year comp guarantees to account for the fact that its probably a 12+ month ramp-up to start generating revenue.  Am I within bounds asking for a guarantee? 

    Happy to have this conversation via DM as well if anyone doesn’t want to post about this publicly. Really appreciate any insight.
