I'll try and keep this short. I am currently unemployed and I have a job interview tomorrow for an internship in a big ad agency. HOWEVER, I am pending of resolving a few processes, one of them is for a good marketing position paying about 20k euros a year, and from the others I haven't had money talks yet, but they might be low paying too.

The problem comes here: I know I would like the ad agency job way more than the marketing position, but being an internship it only pays 300 euros a month and food tickets. That may change if they like me enough to hire me fulltime, but the chances of that are always slim, specially in this economy. My initial idea was not to mention anything tomorrow, then if I get that internship work good there and if I get the offer from other position, talk to the bosses there about that before leaving, since that may or may not spawn a counter offer. But I feel kinda bad about getting a job knowing that I may be bailing out really soon or putting them in an ugly position.

What do you guys think?

Your plan sounds good, keep your options open.

WHAT.

WHAT.

NEVER.

Seriously, who is that guy? It's uncanny!

Anyway, off to bed but will check the thread from there via phone and maybe reply. I have that interview in 8 hours >_<

Hey, being a nice guy never killed anybody. Nice but not stupid, though.

I felt the same way going into my first internship since I had a similar situation, but don't worry about it. They've no doubt got other candidates behind you that they can ring up, and it's not like their company's gonna go down because of one missing intern. You're not that important, so do whatever's best for you in this situation.

Very much true, also.

Yeah, companies expect interns to leave. Especially ones that aren't in school anymore. I am working an internship right now and they have straight up told me that it would be fine if I need to take time off for interviews.
