Pulling out of Contract after accepting

[MrMarkyMark]

How does that relate to the poster's query? Didn't you get banned for this kind of thing before?

It has as much to do with the Ops post as your contribution, where does he say he is in the Scottish contracting market, the rates are too high for a start....

Didn't you get banned for this kind of thing before?

No.

HTH.

If you have a bum on seat at Client A, cancel the interview with Client B, if not I would not have any objection to proceeding with Client B and turning them down when I start Client A, as offers can fall though right up to the last minute

[MrMarkyMark]

Would this be a case of contractus interruptus?

Didn't know the OP was a Catholic

There is no moral issue. You are a business. Not Claire Raynor. Turn down B and you might find that A cancels your contract at the last moment. Look after number one.

At the moment you don't even have the gig. Go to interview. It might never be an issue.

+1 this

go to interview B, see how it goes. It's not impossible that A could cancel your contract before you even start so cover yourself until you are 100% sure and in the door of client A.

You only have a decision to make if B also offer you the role....if that happens, then deal with it.

This. Contract A might still not happen for some reason. Go to the interview with B and then (assuming B offers you the role) politely decline it only after you're already on site at A and invoicing.

Scotland is a small, inconsequential region, with ideas above its station

[northernladuk]

Pretty simple then: will you pay a price for burning bridges? Scotland is a small market, so I've made it a point never to burn bridges because your name can get around pretty easy here. But if you're in London or whatever, maybe you can afford to piss off half the employers, I dunno?

Seems youbare not employed by them that won't matter then will it?

If you want an opinion, you should forward with the contract A… and one lesson learned.
