I'm pretty new to life as an F-2 visa holder. I'm completing my final year of a 3 year stint at a decent university, and am leaving because of a 3 year policy. I spent a couple of other years at another. Anyway, about month ago I got my F-2 visa and I found what was a pretty good job to replace my current one. I then went in to sign my contract. I had filled out numerous applications for universities around Seoul at the time and was pretty happy with my choice. Of course, I had to make some quick decisions at the time, because I wasn't sure if the positions would be pulled off the table if I didn't sign within the week of being offered the positions.
Now what I'm asking is this... in the past on an E-2, signing that contract really had me in a bind if any other positions came along, and now I wonder if that same bind exists for me? I've since had more universities ask me to come into interviews which could possibly be better than where I will work, and I've said I've already signed with another... but am I really bound to that like I may have been before? Could I simply go to the other interviews and then simply say I've changed my mind about the university I just signed a contract with... especially if the contract and terms were better? I know this might seem iffy on ethical level, but I've spent 5 years in universities and just want to feel I've done the very best I could. Perhaps some of you have thoughts.

yes.

That's a 'yes' that I am not bound to my contract whereas I may have been before F-2, and should keep looking if I want? And do you really know if a signed contract can just be abandonned and another signed?
