Wall Street and banking executives, one of the hallmarks of the job comes into play only at the end: a signed noncompete agreement. The employment clauses have long been used by big-name companies to prevent top employees from working for a nearby competitor, typically for six months to two years after leaving, allowing firms to protect intellectual property and deter brokers and consultants from poaching clients.
