Few of my friends are in quant, but I have never heard anything like this. Can an employee just apply for notice period after a month of joining and be paid 6-24 month of salary?

After a month they wouldn’t know much, so the firm would just let them go. The firm picks the leave duration, not the employee.

And after only a month their sign-on would be subject to claw back.

I dont think employers have to worry about that when the employee works his whole life to be a quant in such a competitive industry.

The length of paid leave is at the discretion of the company, of course.

But can the non compete be longer than paid leave?
