   3. Should I take this job or not?

   2. Consider it unreasonable and likely unenforceable
   3. Enforce it fully as written
   4. Automatically extend your employment

7. What is a good approach when AI flags a problematic clause in your contract?

   1. Post the clause publicly and ask strangers what to do
   2. Accept it because contracts cannot be changed
   3. Immediately refuse to sign and walk away
   4. Draft polite negotiation requests asking to remove or change it

    4. AI will tell you if the job is fun

12. If your contract has a non-compete that prevents you from working in your field for 2 years after leaving, you should:

    1. Accept it immediately because it's standard
    2. Ask AI to explain it and whether it might be enforceable
    3. Quit the job before reading anything
