The story is very interesting and goes into some detail about winning tough auditions, then accepting and then resigning quickly for better opportunities.
I am not suggesting anything wrong in that but wondering if that is how it goes these days?
Given the costs and rigors we face with behind the curtain auditions for various reasons such as gender fairness and union invovement, why does a winner accepting an offer not have a contractual obligation for a specified period?
It could be because of probationary acceptance clauses, first year situations. etc., but winning then declining and moving on several times in short order would also seem a valid reason to decline an auditioner as too fickle.
I would be interested in hearing opinions about this and especially from pros out there doing the audition circuits these days.
The parts about using one offer to get another orch to ups its offer is especially interesting... is this normal these days?
