Not going to work for the 2 months is the worst advice ever.

Whatever industry you are in, every industry is small. Everyone will somehow be connected to everyone espcecially with LinkedIn and FB. Current employer will inform future employer of you being absent and not honoring your contract.

You'll see how that reflect on you. Your future employer will probably find the fastest reason to not confirm you.

Edit - my advice is talk to your boss/HR and request for goodwill. Most people have feeling and some will understand. They are people too and they have probably been in your shoes before. If they still do not allow and this is probably because this will indicate that employees can just leave in 1 month despite the contract, other employees will do the same thing.

Second is to go to your future employer and tell them you will honor the current contract. 1 - they will see you as a person who does what you say and honors your promises. 2- you find another new employer while serving your 3 months notice.
