Nope. His non-competes are likely very restrictive.

I just want to point out that you have noted this falsehood like five times in this thread already. Noncompetes have been unenforceable in California since 2008, and for over a month federally.

Noncompetes have been illegal in CA for much longer than that. It is literally the reason Silicon Valley exists; Fairchild couldn't enforce theirs.

Non-competes were invalid in the state of California, and now are in the entirety of the U.S. [1]

What about NDAs? Are those not enforceable too?
