Leaving firm - garden leave policy?

Hi all,

I am an analyst at a BB and am leaving for a role at a tech company completely unrelated to my coverage group. I gave notice today and they informed me I could not start at the new firm until 30 days after I leave the firm.

I don't see any sort of clause in my offer letter that stipulates this garden leave policy - does anyone know if this is standard? I didn't think this would be applicable to anyone at the junior level and have seen people start in PE roles earlier than 30 days.

Any advice on how to navigate this would be incredibly helpful - thanks in advance!
