    Default Re: Is Signing 2-Page Job Offer Legally Binding (Non-Compete)

    2. The Company wants me to sign this document ASAP. Should I not sign the offer until I review the Non-Compete?
    You're asking strangers to speculate and you've provided nothing about the position, the salary, who's courting who, etc.

    I can tell you this.

    I would not sign anything without a thorough review of the Personnel Policies, Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, and Non-Compete.

    And if this is a high income job where your skills are in demand, I would have a lawyer do my negotiating if I had any leverage at all.

    Just understand that non-competes are deadly and can keep you unemployable for 6 months to a year, or more, in your profession. Be very careful.

    You always have to have a local attorney actually READ the entire document to see what it says. Contract law cannot make labor law go away, but it can create additional obligations that would not otherwise exist.

    Past that non-disclosure agreements are mostly legal and non-compete agreements are mostly legally complicated and problematic. NCAs are very specific to the exact wording of the agreement (which no one on this website has read), plus the laws of your specific state(s), plus related court cases which tend to be very jurisdiction specific. There are no easy answers to be found on line for NCA.
