Hi everyone,
I received an entry-level IBD analyst offer from a major bank and was about to sign it. However, the offer has a paid non-compete period of 3 months enforceable at the bank’s discretion.
Wondering if this is normal? How would it be possible for me to jump ship with this covenant?
Appreciate any help.

You go and travel for 3 months while the current employer pays you a salary and then you start at the net gig
Thanks a lot. Does it mean that I will need to look for jobs that can allow me to start my new gig three months later rather than maybe two weeks later? I saw that my associate started his new role at a competitor almost immediately.
