Got a call for the first one I applied to, didn't make it. 3 applications later, now interviewing again. Fingers crossed

Are they all similar roles? If you’re applying to too wide a variety it’ll look like your reaching for anything vs applying your skill set.

Any thoughts?

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?
