the job contract for your current will and should state how many months or year(s) you are tied to the contract before you can go into the same job scope and/or work for a client.
look into your contract and if the above clause is not stated, then it is ok for you to work for your client after resignation.
ps: it is not fun to work for in an environment when things are not comfortable in certian areas if you think hard enough.
for me, i might not choose to work for a client after resignation as there may be implications and gossips if i already knew the company is already a client of my current company unless there is a very very good reason example, the current company introduces me to work in the client company for certain exceptional reasons.
good luck!

It really depends on your position within the orgainization you are currently with. If you are senior management then probably no. The organization has made a significant investment in you and probably rewards you with things like bonus plans, company cars, etc. Essentially, you are part of the "family". Now, if that is not the case then the orgainization does not recognize your talents, go with someone who does. Having said that, never, ever, ever burn any bridges. Leave on good terms with your current company. If this is not possible by taking the new job then delay the start of the new one by a month, quit immediately claiming a family illness (brother, cousin, or something) that happens to be in the same town/area of the new job. Start your new job, and inform your former coworkers that the relative is recovering well, but you have decided to stay in town and have taken a position with client and look forward to working with them again.

It may be if you signed a "Non-Competitive" agreement when you were hired. Depending on the nature of the agreement, you may not be able to work for a client until a specific time has elapsed (such as 6 months or 1 year).
This may be a bit dangerous because you may have access to sensitive information such as account info, and client lists.
You may want to check this out first before you leave your current job. It may be best to sever the business ties before accepting a new position.
Hope this helps. God Bless you!

If you leave your company amicably and the position you are applying for contributes to your career progression, then it would be acceptable. It would also help if the client has indicated an interest in hiring you before you leave your present job. Otherwise you may be seen as a casual job hopper.

Actually it depends on your position and the post they are offering you. It doesn't matter when you quit your current job and join your client unless your letter of appointment indicates that you cannot join your client.
If your network is wide enough, you will realised that a lot of us resigned fromn our current company and joined our client. This is a common trend in SG nowdays.

your job should have a clause say not allow to work for client or competitor within a certain period
