Good point, though you should also check the laws in your area because such contracts may not be enforceable.

- mattkatzbaby 11y agoIt is rare that an employee is unique enough to be worth the cost of bringing lawyers to the table.
- onion2k 11y agoTrue, but the small company would presumably lose the contract if he left and went to do the same job at the larger company. That might well be worth fighting for.
- 7Figures2Commas 11y agoEven in a state like California, which is very employee friendly, the OP and the company trying to poach him would probably have a difficult time if there's an anti-solicitation clause in place. The OP is still employed by the consulting firm, and actively engaged in work for the client company. California court cases have suggested this type of scenario might not be a good fit for 16600 protections[1]. If the OP now believes he's underpaid and wants to look for greener pastures, he should consider that he doesn't need to join the client company to find them.
