Main AI reads your offer letter, employment agreement, and NDA — flags non-competes, IP assignment overreach, mandatory arbitration, and clawback provisions before you sign.
Read it before you decide anything — scope, duration, and geography determine whether it's enforceable, and several states (California most famously) refuse to enforce them at all. The FTC has also moved against most non-competes. Main AI flags the exact restriction and tells you how courts in your state treat it.
Either side can end the relationship at any time, for any lawful reason. The catch is one-sidedness: offers often pair at-will status for you with resignation-notice requirements, repayment clauses for signing bonuses or training, and forfeiture of unvested equity. Those asymmetries are what to negotiate.
More than salary: signing bonus, equity amount and vesting schedule, severance terms, start date, remote arrangements, the non-compete's scope, and IP-assignment carve-outs for your side projects. Anything in writing was drafted to favor the company — which means it can be redrafted.
IP assignment is the sleeper: broad versions claim everything you create during employment, including nights-and-weekends projects on your own hardware. Repayment clauses (bonus, relocation, training) are a close second — they can turn quitting into a five-figure bill.
