Make sure the contract spells out your work hours, timezone expectations, and whether you're classified as an employee or contractor - that stuff determines your taxes and benefits! also check if theyre trying to lock you into a non-compete clause thats way too broad or if theres anything sketchy about equipment ownership and data security.
One thing people miss: whether they can actually fire you remotely or if there's a severance clause tied to your location. I got burned once when a company in another timezone laid me off with two weeks notice and zero severance because the contract was vague about local labor laws - turned out they should've given me way more, but proving it across state lines was a nightmare.
also worth asking upfront how they handle internet outages or equipment failures. does the company provide your laptop, or are you using your own gear? who pays if your home office setup causes injury? those details sound boring but they matter way more than you'd think when something actually goes wrong.
