Hello everyone, first time posting here looking for some general advice. I received my first offer from an RIA to be a Wealth Advisor. Once I got the employment offer, I was a bit taken aback by a 12 month non compete on the contract based on any investment/securities related role within the city and its outer bounds. I know non solicits or even non acceptance clauses are quite normal, but a non compete that impedes me on working in the industry as a whole seemed very excessive.

Is this more normal than I am reacting to, or is this something I should negotiate them on?

Thanks!
