A non-compete should be accompanied by a commensurate severance package in order to be taken seriously by a prospective employee.

Agreed. In the finance industry this is the norm in my experience - 100% salary for duration of the non-compete and a severance package.

Also agreed. If an employer is hindering you from working for X amount of time, they should be paying you for that time.
