TN Visa - From consultant to a full time position

Registered Users (C)
Hello All
I obtained my TN Visa at the border in April to work as a consultant for 3 years at a client site. Now I have an offer to work as full time employee for the client, so I will be technically changing employers. I would appreciate responses to following questions:
1. My understanding is, since I am changing employer, I have to go back to the border to get another TN visa, even though I still have 2 and half years left in the current TN visa.
2. If for some reason the visa gets rejected, will I be able to comeback and continue work for the consultant with old TN visa?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am going to interview this week, it will be helpful to know this before the interview.

1. Correct. This is a new job, new sponsor.
2. Yes, assuming you don't quit the first job, which you should never do until you secure the new TN.
