Ask HN: Using a side project at my day job

Note that some employment contracts already say that if you use any of your own IP at work, then the employer gets full rights to that IP including ability to use it in any way they want, sell it, or sub-license it.

Trust does go a long way though.

Is that valid without assigning copyright or otherwise formally licensing it?

You are formally licensing the employer of this when you sign the employment contract (assuming it includes such a provision; each one I have seen does).
