hey, as per title.
I was looking through the contract, and strangely, I realised there are no such clauses on competing and non-solicitation, unlike other companies I worked with before. Is there any reason why? (generally curious)
:)
If you are referring to the ability to join a competitor firm, consulting firms do not place a restriction on that. But based on where I was, if you are joining a competitor firm you must disclose it and they will not put you on any confidential work (i.e. you will not be staffed) during your garden leave.
For non-solicitation, frankly if you are not a partner this does not matter to you.
Lastly just take note, there is what is in your contract and there are also firm policies. Consulting firm offer letters are often very 'light' and concise, but that doesn't mean there isn't a firm policy that is explicit about something (that they can hold against you to fire you).
That's a common story, I think the biggest problem is that they value confidentiality among long-standing information. This problem may not be able to change due to your subjective awareness.
