But they're not paying you to enjoy your life, they're paying you to not work for their competitors, which has impact on your career in the longer term. So they should compensate you based on that, not you wanting to take up pottery or whatever.
Yeah, it’s 100% of salary in a competitive market
Y’all need to go outside if you think that’s not a fantastic deal
Sure, maybe we could have that conversation if noncompetes actually required that...but they don't
What if the competitor offers 150% or more? Then is 100% a fair deal?
Yeah
While I agree that they should go outside, I will point out that the common tactic is to make salary than less than 1/2 of the total compensation. In tech, they issue RDUs and then they can claim that those were always bonus and never part of salary. In finance, they give big bonuses depending on performance. This is a little more legit but usually takes recessions for bonuses to actually disappear.
