I have _always_ been able to either change the terms of the contract, or get (in writing) an acceptable, more limited interpretation of what's written in the contract (by defining a term in the more strict sense of the word instead of keeping it broad).
But then, I've mostly worked in small companies; I suspect a FAANG is pretty different in that regard.
- ghaff 6y agoIf you're negotiating with a founder it's one thing. If you're negotiating with someone who has to run changes five levels up to a legal department that's going to have to assign someone to do a contract review that's something pretty different.

- mxuribe 6y agoI can imagine smaller firms might lend themselves to more possibilities for negotiations. I've never worked for a small firm nor a FAANG...I have always only worked for large enterprises - many with names that are easily recognizable globally, and maybe 1 or 2 jobs with enterprises that are major names only in U.S. markets...but those firms ran the gamut with respect to industry (and none in the FAANG or silicon valley/startup sector)...so as other folks have stated, the ability to succeed in these types of negotiations can vary greatly by size of company, seniority of role, perceived value to team or org., etc.
