Here's what we typically find in a employment contract
Non-compete covers your entire industry for 2 years
You cannot work for any competitor — broadly defined — for 24 months after leaving, anywhere in the United States.
IP assignment includes work done on personal time
Any invention "related to company business" made during employment belongs to the company, even if created at home on weekends.
Signing bonus must be repaid if you leave within 12 months
The full $15,000 signing bonus is subject to clawback if you resign or are terminated for cause before your 1-year anniversary.

What we look for
Non-compete scope
Who you can work for after you leave, for how long, and in what geography — often broader than you expect.
IP assignment
Clauses that give your employer rights to work you do on personal time. We flag if it covers your side projects.
Equity vesting & cliffs
Your 4-year vesting schedule, 1-year cliff, and what happens to unvested shares if you're let go.
At-will vs. fixed-term
Whether you can be terminated without cause at any time — and what severance (if any) you'd receive.
Clawback provisions
Bonuses, signing bonuses, or relocation assistance you may have to repay if you leave within a set period.
Mandatory arbitration
Whether you've waived your right to sue in court and must resolve disputes through private arbitration.
