Read your offer letter before you sign.
A new job is exciting. The offer letter is dense. FinePrint reads your PDF and surfaces the deadline you can't miss, the bonus clawback that could cost you thousands, and the equity terms most people gloss over, in plain language.
The terms that decide what your job is really worth.
FinePrint adapts its read to job offers, surfacing the acceptance deadline as a critical reminder and pulling out every distinct compensation, equity, and contingency clause.
Acceptance deadline
Always surfaced as critical. The day the offer expires, calendared so you don't lose your spot to back-and-forth negotiation.
Signing bonus & relocation clawback
How long you have to stay before the bonus is yours, the exact repayment formula if you leave early, and the trigger event ("voluntary resignation," etc.).
Equity vesting cliff & schedule
RSU / ISO / NSO grant amount, the cliff (typically one year), and what happens to unvested shares if you leave or are terminated.
Contingencies
Background check, drug test, reference check, I-9 verification, anything that can rescind the offer after you accept.
Benefits eligibility date
When health insurance, 401(k) match, PTO accrual, and other benefits actually start, often weeks after day one.
Stock option exercise window
The post-termination window to exercise vested options. The default 90 days catches a lot of people by surprise.
At-will language & severance terms
What "at-will" really means in your state, and any negotiated severance acceleration or notice period.
Non-compete, IP & arbitration
Each restrictive covenant as its own finding, non-compete duration and geography, IP assignment scope, mandatory arbitration with class-action waiver.
Plain language. Source quotes. Page numbers.
Every finding cites the exact clause it came from. Verify the wording yourself in seconds, and bring it into your negotiation with confidence.
