I recently accepted an offer and joined Firm A. I am accepting a better offer next week with my preferred firmB. I understand that if I leave in 2 weeks, I will burn the bridge with Firm A. Would Firm B also not like that I joined A and left them too soon ?

Why does firm B need to know?

My understanding is that background checks only confirm the firms, begin and end dates that you told them. I don’t think they’d find out about an employer you where at for a few weeks. This is only based on what I’ve read, so take this with a grain of salt.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

However I found something this month that will cut costs by 30%. How do I go about finding someone to sublease my place?
