Quit after receiving GC
I am not being ungrateful , I was intending to pursue my career in the company that brought me here and sponsored me for GC but due to changing circumtances, disagreement with management style etc, I am thinking of quitting the company after 5 months of receiving my GC. Is there an immigration rule to how long should I stay with the employer after receiving the GC?

There is no set time period. The general feeling in the immigration forums is that you should stay for at least 1 year else you may have problems when you try to get citizenship in 5 years time.
