If a contract or any other type of legal document comes across your desk today, do not sign on the dotted line until you have explored every possible downfall. Signing it too hastily could mean that you are committing yourself to something that you will want to back out of later on. There's not necessarily anything wrong with this particular deal, but it might just not be the deal you need now. So be patient. And be ready to turn it down if it's not everything you want.
