just wondering if anyone here has ever had to sign a non-compete with their current employer? or have you jumped ship and started a business that was similar to your last line of work using your knowledge and/or contacts from previous job?

were you successful at your new job?

while i am currently very happy with my position within my company, i need more money. i have signed a psuedo non-compete, which means as long as i dont call on current customers, they wont sue. everything else is fair game

but with my knowledge, i could pursue other opportunities within the same industry, but dont want to burn my bridges.
