How valid is non compete clause ?

Meaning I can not recruit Abbvie employees for 2 years or they can claw back my severance package.

Name a single instance where those silly non competes have ever been enforced at the field sales level. You cant because it has never happened. If you think going to another compnay in the same market wont be allowed, then good luck living in your bubble
 






Definitely look at state laws. I’ve worked for companies where I wouldn’t have been concerned about this. But legal strategy is this place’s bread and butter. Generate frivolous patents, sue biosimilar companies…
