> I once saw a contract that stated I couldn't work in the field for TWO YEARS after terminating. Not just large machine equipment, but ANY mobile/web applications, related to integration with embedded systems or not. Yeah no thanks.

Interestingly, here the legislagtion allows this kind of clauses only if you're receiving a "significant part" of your original pay from that company until the end of that period. Also, they have 2 weeks time after you quit to decide if they'll enforce it or not and the clause has to be written into the contract from the start of your employment.

Which is actually way more reasonable that some contracts I've seen from the US-based companies.
