Is it acceptable practice to apply for full-time positions and quit after a year or earlier?
No Most companies don't appreciate it. But, if you can manage to convince them that you would be indeed joining the company after education, then they might. But trust me, they wouldn't get convinced most of the time(sadly).
What would be the implications?
Unfortunately, there aren't muchmany. But. these are some ways which I can think of, which happen at my company, which might help you:
- Work Part time from college after the 6 months: Companies do appreciate that. One of my colleagues is working part-time in a position, which he worked in, during his 4 months stint at the company. He is pursuing his education parallelly, and would join the company full-time after college. So, if you are interested, you might want to ask the company whether they can allow such practice.
- Ask them for an unpaid intern: Some companies agree if the internship is unpaid, as they have nothing to lose. So, they might take you in as an unpaid intern as interns are one of the best ways to get things done for peanuts. So, try asking them regarding this.
