You probably shouldn't bother with the notice period. Unless you can actually deliver something complete in the next month, anything you do will be going in the bin, irregardless of whether it's any good or not.Comment

You think the new gig will wait one month for you? Are you sure the new gig won't evaporate before you arrive in reception whenever you start? Do you feel lucky punk?
Good luck getting paid from the first gig by the way. Might want to factor that in to your calcs to see if the new gig is worth it.Comment

FFS Just because a client can cancel early due to commercial reasons does that mean you should bail for a few extra £££. I recently had the opportunity for a new role paying £100 a day more than my current rate. My contract ends at the end of September, its a good rate and a good client, new role could not wait so I had to decline, never bailed early so far, not going to start now.Comment

to everyone saying he should stay...
if it's a business to business relationship what makes their business more important than yours? Notice period is in there to protect either side - if they wanted you to stay longer the notice would have been longer (or it would be pay-on-completion / pay-on-deliverable, which trumps the bathroom fitter argument)
unless you're all really just disguised employees?
they wouldn't hesitate to invoke notice and ditch you if they wanted toComment

Noble thing to do is walk away after the first week, take the hit and not bill for the time already committed, this way you can start the new contract immediately.
But then again how can you tell after one week the gig is not exciting, most clients can't give me a desk and a computer after one week, each to their own I guess.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment
