So, if "at-will" means the employer doesn't owe loyalty or a stable job, I guess it's fair game to accept a fulltime role and consider it a fallback baseline salary and then continue to shop around for more money indefinitely. Ahh the sweet flavor of churn...management are geniuses for coming up with this!

Yup, they're going to take, take, take from you until one day they decide they don't need you anymore, so take just as much from them as you can. Loyalty is dead in the corporate world.

Yes, it’s business. You’re always fair to shop around for a different job or a better fit.

Yeah, I love at-will employment.. it's a job. Not family. Business is business. Nothing personal about it. my boss at my previous employer tried to go against my wishes and pull me into a crappy project and went through a lot of hoops to make it happen sort of like a challenge to tell me that he can do whatever he wants even if I had all the backing of my current project members to make me stay. Well, he did manage to pull me out of the project I like and place me into his crappy project with a start date. By that time I had already been searching and found the perfect remote job and submitted my resignation and out of courtesy and respect for my current project, gave a two week notice so I could transition them but my leaving date was the date that he had set where I would start his crappy project so there would be no doubt that everyone knew the reason I was leaving.
