Hire an attorney, someone who has a legally enforceable duty, plus malpractice coverage, to represent you to the best of their abilities. Don’t just hire an “agent”.

I think most graduates don't know what to ask for and if they can ask for things. Making someone else the bad guy (agent) and not you is always a good thing in negotiations.

Considering how disadvantageous to the hire some contracts are written, the effort and cost could really be worthwhile. The agent has an incentive to get you the best deal, and every incentive to tell you to walk when he can't, since much of his business depends on word of mouth.
