Yes! This is a particularly true for most software engineers. I have a friend who is a doctor whose contract says that if quits, he can't practice medicine within a 30-mile radius for 12 months. His only option would be to move to a different area, take a job with a horrible commute for a year or to wait it out. On the other hand, as a software engineer, I've never been in a situation where my thought is to move to a direct competitor. My skillset is broadly applicable to many industries, and it wouldn't be strange to do one gig for Home Depot, the next one at Google, followed by a role at Tesla.
