Work Contract - Big 4

    Hi there

    I signed a contract 8 months ago that requires me to give 3 months notice in a job. After 8 months I have realised Big 4 is not for me and have been offered another job. Would it be normal to be held to the 3 months notice or should I be bale to negotiate down to 1 month fairly handy?

    Thanks

    Dave

    Just go- they are not going to hold you to it- the PR would be awful

    Might it be prudent to first have lunch with your boss / supervisor / tutor to see how they think you are progressing?

    Does the new employer know you have a 3 month notice period?

    Usually these things can be negotiated down, but it takes some movement on both sides

    If the new employer is a client (or potential target client) of your current firm it can also help in the negotiation
