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?

Internships are nothing. You can leave whenever you want and they can fire you whenever they want. Try not to burn bridges though.

You’ll burn the bridge at company B but I think double the comp and full time is easily worth it. At the end of the day, you have to look out for you

Honestly, i think in this situation, you wouldn’t even really “burn” the bridge with company B, because if they were you, they would jump on this opportunity too.

If possible maybe just don't start the internship - seems better to me than leaving early.

uplifting

This. You haven’t started, the bridge hasn’t been built to be burned. Be honest, if they don’t respect that, you’re better off anyway.

For me this is a no-brainer. I'm typically a very loyal person but recent years and the entrepreneur in me have shown me that it's much harder for a company to reciprocate that loyalty.

Many times it's out of anyone's control, just take a look at what's happening (specifically) in the tech market and think about how many people are being let go.

As someone mentioned earlier look out for you. Better to make more now and be able to pad your resume that much quicker.

Also, if you like company T, it's going to be easier to deliver better work there.

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

Any Advice?
