A question I have as a fresh graduate in the industry. For a company like Amazon, wouldn't a huge chunk of tech companies be competitors? Does the non compete span the entire product range of Amazon's services, or just the team/project you were working on?

For example, Amazon and Google both have cloud services. If I'm working for AWS, would my non compete prevent me from working for Google, or just Google cloud?

Yes. You nailed it. Exactly. That's why these non-compete agreements are unconscionable.
