That seems like something ripe for being gamed. How do they protect from someone just quitting and continuing to get paid?

They're not obligated to enforce the non-compete. If you don't have any sensitive information to take to a competitor, they might not give you any garden leave.

OTOH, I've seen non-competes as long as 2.5 years from places like Citadel.

Congrats: You are part of the 0.01% of the industry. Did they also offer to pay your bonus during that period? Else, it looks like a shitty deal that I would never accept. I heard that Florida now has some weird state-specific rules about high income people with non-competes.

What's worse is actually those non-competes with a variable period. The company doesn't have to tell you in advance how long it will be; only when you hand in your resignation letter will they tell you. It entirely serves to make your job hunt more difficult.

Jesus: What jurisdiction is this? And what dummy signs a contract like that?

New York and the company in question is none other than Citadel.
