What is the name of your state? WI

I am currently a Resident physician in Podiatry and looking into jobs. I currently have a contract in hand and I am being asked to sign now or lose out on the job as the particular solo practitioner has other candidates that would be otherwise interested in the position immediately. The job does have a reasonable starting salary but no health benefits or real other benefit package. I also am in the starting phases of interviewing with a large hospital group that would include a significantly higher salary plus an excellent benefits package. The decision will basically be made between me and 2-3 other candidates in the next 1-2 months from what it sounds like. If I sign the first contract to ensure myself employment, and this contract does have a statement that the contract can be made void by any party with 30 days with written notice, and I am offered employment by the second group and give my 30 day written notice prior to even engaging in employment, besides being a complete a** to the first individual can there be any other legal circumstances. I assume the non-compete clause would still be held up although it would not matter in my case as the second job is in a different part of the state.

hope this makes sense
Thanks.

All negative consequences would be stated in the contract itself. No stated negative consequences = no negative consequences.
