I got my current contract through a smallish agency.I got my current contract through a smallish agency. While working on this contract, another agency called me about another position that was somewhat more lucrative. After interviewing at the new company, I was offered a contract. Now, my existing contract was a typical one in that it was open-ended and could be terminated by either party with two-weeks' notice, so, barring any major pay raise from my current job, I planned to quit my old job and accept the new one. In keeping with my usual policy in these cases, I told the new company I'd sleep on the decision and get back to them the next day. I then left and called the headhunter agency that currently represented me to inform them that I probably was going to take the other job. The headhunter there tried to persuade me to stay at my current position. My early termination would mean a loss of revenue for the agency, so her reaction was predictable. |
