I actually had the same question a few years back after running into
this problem. This is not legal advice and you should talk to a LOLyer, but generally it seems like unreasonable non competes are unenforceable - eg “You can never work for any customer we’ve ever worked with for the rest of your life all across the US”. The reasonable, enforceable ones are more specific in scope, such as not being able to move to a customer that you directly worked with through them for a period of one year
Again, I am not a lawyer, so this is based off my own research

If you didn't disclose to your new employer that you have a non-compete, they also will fuck your ass as soon as they find out. If you did, then their legal department should have asked you for a copy and reviewed it. Most companies won't hire someone with a non-compete that creates any risk for them.
And as noted above, don't think you're smart enough to pull data from your work machine to use in the future. You're not and will get caught.

Enforceable in MN if reasonable in temporal and geographic scope, plus interest to be protected.
If your company is smarter they will also seek to enjoin you from leaving under the Uniform Trade Secret Act. Inevitable disclosure is not a settled issue in MN like in other, more employee-friendly states.

If you're considering moving, talk to your prospective new employer and have them pay for you to go to a real lawyer in your state who does this work. I would advise going to a litigator (lol); i.e., someone who handles this fight on the back end rather than whoever your new company uses to put their clauses in on the front end. If you're capable, pick the law firm first and ask the new company to pay for the analysis.
This is an area where the law varies heavily from state to state and is also very fact-intensive. Also -- and no one ever does this but I think it'd be a good idea to keep the option open -- if you go to law firm 'A' and get them to prepare a memo concluding that you're likely okay, it could conceivably be usable in an advice-of-counsel defense (depending upon how strong their conclusion is) when you jump ship and get sued; I'd probably hire law firm 'B' at that point just to make the scope of the waiver cleaner.

based only on the details you gave and assuming certain things about the size of both orgs and your seniority:
current employer probably would try to enforce NCA if you left for competitor
assuming you fought it it would probably drag out for a year or two and ultimately resolve in your favor, but you'd be out a lot of legal fee$ that hopefully your new employer would cover.

Basically this isn’t your problem and is your new employer’s problem. Just reveal the non compete and let their legal handle it. If they want you enough, they will find a way around it.
The only time my firm gets pissed is if you have a non compete and don’t disclose it to us prior to starting.
