Anyone have an anecdotal evidence that Ansys grants a non-compete waiver? I have an offer from Ansys's customer (OEM) and they want me to get a waiver to join Based in the USA (not in CA). Please comment if you have any insight into this.

My bonus was negligible compared to what it could’ve been. The primary reason was “limited impact”. This comes as a shock. I can only guess they hoping I voluntarily leave so they don’t have to pay severance.

I started months ago. The problem is, it’s just slim pickings out there. I’ve managed to land exactly one offer, and it was such a lowball it barely felt real. The job hunt itself is wearing me down more than I expected. Trying to stay motivated when... — read more
