They are basically two questions, but kind of related, so asking in same post

  1. What is the normal notice period in US when resigning? And is it an issue if a company is asking for more than couple of months of notice period?

  2. What is the legal value of non-compete clause in that agreement? That you will not work in the same industry for a set period of time after leaving the company. For example, if you are a software developer working at Netflix, you won’t work on any other streaming service / application for set amount of time after quitting / leaving the job.

    Most states are at will so no notice is required but its polite to give two weeks and a company can promise things to sweeten giving them more notice. Like severance or such. This is state by state so im not sure which ones actually have an onus for a notice period but mine does not. I think non competes can be anything which is bullshit but it should limit itself to the same industry. Many times the contract does not exactly spell that out though making you paranoid of what can and cannot given if an employer asks you. Its bullshit and a lot of guess work.
