Negotiating contracts with carve-outs for advising/consulting for startups?
Nicholle1·Dec 04·9 replies
Hey there! In employment contracts, ya know how they often have clauses saying that all work you do belongs to the company? How have you handled situations where you want to advise or consult with startups after-hours? (Which are NOT competitors to your employer.)What has been your experience with either:(a) getting a contract carve-out, which feels really awkward because they want to know your time/focus is with them and not on other things(b) just not mentioning itWhat if you don't know right now what those startups may be, if the opportunity arises once you've started working? (a) then get explicit permission(b) don't mention itThanks for your advice!
