Seriously. Just look at LinkedIn profiles of past upper management and others and you'll see how they took jobs in the industry immediately.

@qa Yes, if you are in a Red state you are sc--wed pretty much.
@f3 this is just simply untrue. In states where they aren’t permitted, sure. But in the states where they are permitted, trust me, noncompetes are not thrown out the majority of the time.
That being said, I don’t Cigna would pursue unless you’re a high level leader
@ej Even if it gets to the court, non-competes are almost hated by every judge and get tossed out most of the time.
Non competes are not enforceable. Not with the paper it’s printed on.
If you’ve received LTI you have a non-compete. However, there is a process for getting out of it. The people updating their LinkedIn most likely followed the process.
Non competes dont even apply if you were laid off even if you signed then before. Like what is Cigna going to do? Hire you back?
Most people at Cigna do not have a non-compete. They have a non-solicitation clause. Perhaps band 6 and maybe some band 5 have non-competes, but in my decades at Cigna, I never had a non-compete.
Yeah, just don’t go blindly ignoring a NC because someone on here suggested it.
Likely because the hiring company paid the fine?
I don't know if that's a sound advice. There are nuances to NC, what it states you can or cannot do, how broad of a reach it has, how litigious is the previous company etc. Talk to a lawyer, there is usually a way to get out of it.
