Yes. Tell 'em you reject the offer because they want you to sign the non-compete. Brian Hall was sued just last year in 2020. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-17/amazon-s-hardball-non-compete-clauses-are-coming-under-fire Here's a good take: https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/aws-ruins-own-attempt-at-sabotage/ Many people won't join AWS precisely for this reason; e.g., BradFitz had to reject an AWS offer.
Everyone signs a non compete, you don’t get out of it. Brian Hall was a VP who went to a direct competitor in the direct space he was leading. Unless you’re a VP, don’t worry about it.
Lol, no.
Depends on your current and new area of work.
