They are basically two questions, but kind of related, so asking in same post

  1. What is the normal notice period in US when resigning? And is it an issue if a company is asking for more than couple of months of notice period?

  2. What is the legal value of non-compete clause in that agreement? That you will not work in the same industry for a set period of time after leaving the company. For example, if you are a software developer working at Netflix, you won’t work on any other streaming service / application for set amount of time after quitting / leaving the job.

    Generally speaking, in the US, you can leave with no notice. I’m sure the company would like a couple of month’s notice, but I’m not aware of any way they could force that (IANAL). There’s situations where it might matter, like if you signed something that has language like “i’ll keep working for you for at least a year, if you pay for my school”, but at that point you should talk to a lawyer.
