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? Are they expecting you to not learn anything over time at a job?
Like in the US it’s pretty common that if they pay for training and education, if you leave within a year or something, then you have to pay it back. But otherwise it’s expected that you accumulate experience.
See also “what if we train them and they leave?” “what if we don’t train them, and they stay?”
That’s what they use to say here, too.
Still inventions and „creations“ while employed have their own law and regulation. I don’t know them in detail, but I understand that it can be fuzzy and complicated.
