    A side note (disclaimer – just a law student not a lawyer): also keep an eye on any terms in any agreement over IP ownership. Some contracts may try to give the company ownership of your produced content. Even if not, you want to keep in mind what bundle of IP rights they are granting themselves, if any, such as reproduction, and how long it will last even after the contract. For example, in consulting work I once saw an issue where a content creator had a falling out with a company and wanted their content all removed from the company website, YouTube, etc, but the contract allowed the company to keep re-using the content and imagery indefinitely.
