Outside of government, collective bargaining agreements and certain “key personnel” working under a contract, virtually all other professional employment these days is “at will” . That means your employer can terminate you without having to provide any reason unless you are a member of a “protected class” . You may feel “loyalty” to your employer and provide some advance notice but you are NOT legally obligated to do so. A headhunter contacting you is within his/her rights to explore your interest in pursuing a new opportunity at higher pay, subject to whatever non-compete agreement you may have entered into.
