I recently got into a bad fight with several VPs at my company and submitted my resignation letter. We work in a very niche field and I have 10+ years of experience and discovered a lot of the processes we use during my graduate school years. The CEO offered to keep paying my salary even though I wouldn't be doing any work, as long as I don't join their competitor for the next five years. Should I accept this offer?
