Yeah, I am going too. I have other offers that would pay more than my current position, but I cannot get them.

Another thing worth looking into is whether the companies you're looking at would be willing to do the legal dirty work for you. I've had corporate clients hire desirable employees with non-competes and they fight over it with the prior employer while the employee just works in the background. Usually winds up with certain assurances regarding the employee being made by the hiring company (stating that the employee wont be permitted to steal former customers if sales or be involved in manufacturing anything similar in an industrial context). Nobody wants to actually litigate this stuff.

I am pushing that route also.. The industry I am in small and everyone knows each other so people are very careful.

The only time I have seen it litigated is when the hired employee is a high performing sales rep who has taken substantial business from his previous employer, potentially through the use of information acquired from his previous position. I have also seen it deter a hiring team from pursuing certain candidates.
