A Method I’ve Used to Eliminate Bad Tech Hires

IANAL but I took business law 101, which taught me that courts almost universally lean strongly towards the employee when considering restraint clauses.

Moreover, if you have a current employer that is sufficiently disrespectful of their employees that they'd even consider enforcing an anti-moonlighting clause in this circumstance, with the preposterous assertion that it qualifies as employment - run away now.

The law is not a programming language.

If you're involved in the court system while looking for employment, you've already lost.

It is a requirement of my country's regulators that I ask for my employer's approval before I do any other work for compensation.

Damn, what country is that? Sounds like a very controlled, restrictive environment.
