Offer Letter

Know exactly what you’re agreeing to before your first day.

An offer letter marks the start of the employment relationship — but buried inside straightforward-looking language can be clauses that limit your future opportunities, claw back signing bonuses, or assign your personal projects to your new employer. BrieflyGo surfaces every clause that matters.

What risks are detected

At-will termination

Employer can terminate at any time for any reason — often buried in a single sentence on page 3.

IP ownership of side projects

Broad IP clauses may assign inventions you create outside of work hours to your employer.

Signing bonus clawback

You may owe back a full signing bonus if you leave within 12–24 months, even if let go.

Hidden non-compete

A short reference in an offer letter can bind you to a 12-month non-compete without realising it.
