Is There a Way to Talk the Company out of Non-competition and Non-solicitation Agreement?

I accepted an offer from Microsoft. Now they are trying to make me sign a "Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation" agreement which says I cannot work on anything competitive for a period of one (1) year after my employment with Microsoft ends.
Is this done in other companies too? I find it unfair and ridiculous in this competitive industry and almost opens up the gate for your employer to make you a slave, because you can't find a job in any other big tech companies.
How can I get myself out of this without signing the agreement? Or is this normal and everyone signs it?

You can still work for other companies just not for a competitor in that space while they are paying you.
