Notifying current employer before accepting another offer?

Saw this clause in my contract. Will I really have to get permission from my IB to go to the buyside?

My contract seems to imply that I can’t accept another offer before I have permission from my current bank that i wont be in breach of contract. Curious to know if this is how it’s actually done.

In London if it makes any difference

Thanks
