Does Non Compete really matter

I am currently working for a startup for about 3 yrs now and they made me sign a non compete which states that I cannot join a similar domain work for 2 yrs post termination. I am currently in my notice period and have received an offer from a company in a similar domain with good pay and benefits, what should I do?

Nobody cares about the non-compete. Have you come across recruiters that do care about it? Do let us know.
