So clearfully look at this -

"Employee shallnot (directly or indirectly)engagein any activity in competitionwith oradversetoCompany or the businessof Company during the term of this Agreem ent and forone year followingits termination."

SO basically you have to wait one year after termination, and thats insane ...

Anyway, look at the clause, its so vague and general. There are no any minute detail sor any sort of explanation and examples. This is simply to scare people.

Also, since there are three sub vendors inbetween you and your end client, you are always argue that you couldn't go to Vendor 1 who is the main vendor for client. Your employer will have hard time proving their case, simply becuase Vendor B and Vendor C will have no reason to help your company.

Go for it, But dont try to make it worse. As somone suggested, doesn't make it a matter of ego or pride. Somethings are best when they are avoided.

If I were you, first simply talk out with your client that you will join after 1-2 week of vacation as full time. Get a contract letter.
Send email to your company saying that you have to quit the job for some family emegency and give them 2 weeks notice.
And then simply join clinet after 2 weeks of nice and full vacation.
If your company comes back to you then say that the the way I understood your "non-compete" cluase was that I cannot join Vendor A, where you have contract. Other company doesn't have contract with you. they might threatened you in the beginning ( make sure No discussion on Phone; everything through email or letter **** this is very important), but it is unlikely that they will pursue you in the court.
