For job seekers
Employment contract red flags
Understand an offer before you accept: non-compete scope, IP assignment, notice periods, and termination terms, explained in plain English with the clauses cited.
Red flags to look for
Broad non-compete clauses
A non-compete that is too wide in time, geography, or industry can limit your next job. Check how long it lasts and what it actually blocks.
Sweeping IP assignment
Some contracts claim everything you create, even on your own time. Look for carve-outs for personal projects.
Unbalanced notice periods
If you must give two months but they can let you go with two weeks, the contract is one-sided.
At-will termination with clawbacks
Watch for bonus or relocation clawbacks that trigger if you leave (or are let go) within a set period.
