When I started with this company a couple of years ago, I signed a non-compete that stated I couldn't work for another company within 100 miles for 2 years after leaving. The company is based in Orlando, FL. I'd like to start working for another company (preferably larger) with better work-life balance. Do you think other companies in the area will even consider hiring me with the non-compete in place, or pass me over to avoid the hassle? Just how enforceable is this non-compete for someone who isn't a higher-up in the company, just an entry-level inspector? And even if what they ask for doesn't stick with the judge, will it be costly while they are pursuing legal action, assuming they will? I appreciate any input. I feel trapped in my current situation, tired of feeling like these people have me by the balls. Thanks!
