Urgent Help - will fraud consulting sue me?

[franklin]

I have GC and already signed an agreement with a consulting company. Recently I have been placed with a client but mean-while i myself got an offer for a full-time job from the other client. I have not started working for any clients yet. Will the consulting company sue me if I go for the full-time job? The agreement states that I have to work for them 1 year and if I breach the contract I have to pay the penalty.

Help me, thanks!

If u deny paying the penalty, then legally then can do whatever they want. Just pay the price talk to them and keep it calm and good. no worries.

Talk to HR or hiring manager to match the offer or if they can't ask politely if u could break the contract and why its important for your career. if paying penalty works for you go for the new company or ask the new company to hold the offer until 1 yr.

contract is good for employee and employer both, just assume if the employer would fire you all of sudden, contract is there which saves you.
