I joined my current company as a Drupal developer. After 7 months, they shifted gears to WordPress, planning a full migration by January. Now, I have a fantastic opportunity with a Drupal company, but their start date is just one month away. My company has a strict two-month notice period, and they’re not budging. Is there any legal way I can get out of this situation? My career goals are hanging in the balance.

Indian law generally enforces notice periods in employment contracts. However, you can explore negotiating a shorter notice period with your current company, citing the significant career opportunity and the company’s upcoming shift to WordPress. If negotiations fail, you may have to serve the full two-month notice period but face potential legal consequences for leaving before.
