As in, every individual circumstance is different, some situations would be a negative, others a positive and some it really wouldn't matter much.

I've signed two personally and they were both not that big of a deal.

Consider a sunset provision for the Non-Compete if you are good at what you do and not afraid to possibly move, it would force review of the conditions of your employment when it expires.

There may be consequences of not signing or attempting to extract money for signing as well as the limitations signing it would put on the OP.

tl/dr: Consult counsel.
