Does a non-compete signed by my employer for a client affect my future career?

Does a non-compete signed by my employer for a client affect my future career?

I work for a consulting company that signed a non-compete and potentially
an NDA with a client. I am not sure how long the non-compete is in effect.

During the time I worked for that client, I met a couple people that offered me
a job to come work for them. The job is in the same industry and will be a
competitor to the former client.

Am I unable to take that job due to the non-compete?
