I have a really good offer but I also have a service agreement with my current firm which still has a year on it. The amount for breaking the service agreement is quite high. What should I do?

Well.. do you value the offer and the new job profile more? Or is the amount being considered more important?

Ask your new employer to give you a joining bonus equivalent to your service agreement

If that's a joining bonus you had got, then you should not have problems returning it. It's not a bond (extra money out of pocket), right?

EVALUATE. Companies. Termination amount.
CHECK. Whether the destination firm is willing to buy you out.
DRINK. A cool glass of lemonade to calm your mind. Don’t get exhausted with all the thinking.

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?
