Job Hopping with Fexingo · 2026-07-01 · 7 min
In Episode 85 of Job Hopping with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna unpack how short-tenure careers intersect with non-compete agreements. They focus on the specific case of software engineers in Massachusetts, where a 2018 law limited non-competes to a maximum 12-month duration and required garden leave pay. The hosts walk through why job hoppers face unique non-compete risks - disclosure of trade secrets during rapid onboarding, fragmented enforcement across state lines, and the recent FTC proposal to ban most non-competes. They also offer a concrete checklist for listeners weighing an offer with a restrictive clause. A practical episode for anyone who has ever worried about what happens after they leave. #NonCompete #JobHopping #Careers #EmploymentLaw #Massachusetts #TechIndustry #FTC #SoftwareEngineering #GardenLeave #TradeSecrets #EmploymentContracts #CareerMobility #LegalRisk #Onboarding #StateLaw #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
