If this is the behavior when they are trying to play nice and supposedly recruit you, you can guarantee it will be much, much worse to work for them.
Move on as quickly as possible. RUN, don't walk.

Wow, I have never seen a non-compete in an NDA, and I have reviewed/drafted thousands. That definitely sounds like red flag territory to me!
Might be illegal in your state. Some states supreme courts have precedent that a non compete cannot prevent you from gainful employment
You've already wasted a lot of time reading the NDA. Cut your losses.
Do the world a favor and publish the NDA...
Move on.
> Now, at this point, do I attempt to negotiate the NDA or just move on?
Just move on.
If you really want to do them a favour, tell them why. But that's not mandatory.

Now here’s where it gets wild—they want me to sign a non-compete clause for the second meeting. Meaning I wouldn’t be able to work in my own field if I sign. But get this… for a century. Yeah, 100 years. Not that it’s enforceable, but they’re basically trying to kick me out of my industry before they’ve even decided whether to hire me. Come on.
There are a lot of other red flags in this 11-page document too. If they think they’re going to attract top talent with this NDA, they’ve got another thing coming. I’m also wondering if the rest of the team actually signed this. If they did, I’m starting to have doubts about their experience. Now, at this point, do I attempt to negotiate the NDA or just move on?
