NDA Enforcement After NDA prevents me from getting new job

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 18 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $99,000.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I dragged my feet on getting legal advice and it cost me. Don't be like me lol
