Can I terminate a signed employment contract before starting?
I signed an at-will employment contract, but then got another job offer. Can I get out of it without any penalties?

Basically at-will employment means either you or your employer can terminate your employment at any time, for any or no reason. If whatever you signed stated you were an at-will employee, than yes. This document in that case would probably actually be an acceptance of a job offer rather than a contract, which voids at-will employment.
