Hi there,

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice

In my personal experience, that clause has meant that I cannot earn $ from another company while at my current company. Multiple times I have signed a contract with a new firm, then informed my current firm, and set a leave day prior to the start date of the other firm.

As long as you do this, you should be fine (but, check with HR of this new company)

Also, congratulations!

If you are 100% sure about the new consulting job, then you must discuss with your current manager and trigger the resignation process. Show honesty, commitment and highest professional standards. How you time the resignation is upto you.

You can accept the new offer and it will take a few weeks for them to do the background checks (if they do that) and you can resign from current company once everythign is 100% confirmed.

Accepting another offer doesnt mean you are already in active employment. The clock doesnt start until you officially start with them on the joining date.

Not sure if asking legal advice to a bunch of ex-consultants is wise...

Hello!

TBH, here we can only give you opinions... and here perhaps you are getting into legal trouble. I would run it by a lawyer.

Hope it helps!

Hi,

I agree with the other coaches. Talking to a lawyer might be best for you.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

My first advice is definetely to talk it over with a lawyer and/or discuss it with your current employer.

But if I have to guess on that one - signing the contract doesn't mean you work for them. As long as your last day of work at the 1st company is 31th and the first day of work at the new company is 1st, I think you should be fine.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
