3-year employment contract advice

1 points by jeff4e 11y ago ↗ HN

I need your advice, a film/tv production company wants me to sign a 3-year employment contract (full time sr software dev position). What terms do you suggest I negotiate? What if I want to leave before three years?

That is ridiculous. Why even bother?

I would advise you to talk to a lawyer and go over the contract with him and ask the questions you have to him.

Employment contracts should not be taken lightly and 3 years is a lot to ask for; the Lawyer can help you make suggestions to amend/change so if you want to leave it's not such a burden.
