Title: Hi HN! I&#x27;m close to culminating my job search after almost four months. I&#x27;m looking at increased dev responsibility without people management with a significant pay increase (+22.8%) magnified by a lower cost of living here in Texas. Going through my paperwork, it&#x27;s all straightforward; I thought the NDA was reasonable, but I&#x27;m having issues agreeing with the NCA. It&#x27;s lengthy (48months, aka 4 years) and I feel very loosely worded (not to mention one sided). The thing is, very few companies seem to be out here, and I&#x27;m afraid of bringing this up since I may lose out on a rather significant pay raise. I&#x27;m thinking of asking for a more specific one (reduce it to the branch of the company that I work with, instead of every facet such as ecommerce&#x2F;healthcare&#x2F;whatever else is in the pipeline) and reduced time (24 months). Any advice?
