I want to create a hobby project and release it under MIT. I work as a developer professionally and i have some clauses in my employment contract that gives any IP to my employer. My employer is open to amending these and/or adding exceptions for specific projects. Can anyone point to guidance resources on how to formulate such exceptions properly?

Do you need to tie your name to the opensource project? If not, use a pseudonym that your employer can’t find or know 🤷 Put it on codeberg or radicle and they won’t be able to find the project anyway.
Yea i thought about that, but part of the motivation is building my resume
Then definitely talk to a lawyer. They would be able to give you the best advice for your country and situation.
