Non-compete

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.
