I've been contracting for 15+ years and I've never quit a gig before completion. I took on a new 6 month role in January and it's ok, I'm not learning an awful lot and the project is slipping. We still haven't got the production hardware that we were promised at the beginning of February. There is the likelihood that the end of the contract will involve a lot of long hours and weekends to deliver on time. Although the start dates are slipping the PM is not budging on the end date!
Today I got a call from a former client, offering me a rate hike, WFH and a full years contract on a huge project. They want me to start within two weeks. It's a great place to work.
Do I just hand my notice in (one week) and leave? Is this a huge no-no? My reputation is good, I never have trouble getting work. Will jumping ship lead to any legal ramifications, I'm aware the agency will probably hold my pay and I'll have to suck it up.
Any advice would be appreciated.
