There are only a handful of traders and PM’s at successful firms that make such high comps.
The compensation of rank and file employees are quite similar to working in tech but are encumbered with huge risks following termination of employment. The firms I have worked at apply non-competes down to administrative employees who aren’t even involved in the business and have no valuable proprietary knowledge.
For employees whose residency status is tied to employment, these non-competes can result in having to leave the country.
For those with families, they are unable to pursue their primary profession and lose healthcare coverage or pay massively increased premiums.
You don’t understand the population these agreements harm or understand the effects they have.
