Know exactly what you're agreeing to before you accept
Employment documents affect your career, finances, and future options. Docly breaks down the clauses that matter most.
Docly highlighted a non-compete that would have blocked me from working in my industry for 18 months. I got it narrowed down before accepting the offer.

What people miss
Non-compete restrictions
Clauses that limit where you can work next — sometimes for years, sometimes across entire industries.
IP assignment overreach
Some agreements claim ownership of anything you create, even personal side projects built on your own time.
Severance tradeoffs
Signing a severance package often means waiving your right to sue. Know what you're giving up.
What Docly flags for you
Non-Compete Clause
You can't work for any competitor within 50 miles for 18 months after leaving. In your state, this may be partially enforceable — but it could limit your job search.
Equity Vesting Schedule
Your stock options vest over 4 years with a 1-year cliff. Some companies offer accelerated vesting on termination — it's worth negotiating before you sign.
