Vendor Contract Problem — 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 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 4 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $107,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

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

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
