Can a fresh grad reject company B after accepting if company A (the one I want to work in) replies to my application late?

I'm a uni fresh grad applying for jobs.
Say, if I sent in resume to company A I want to work in, and also to other companies B, C, etc. Then I get reply from company B that my application is successful. If I agreed, then company A inform me they want me to go for interview, can I reject company B?

I strongly believe you can. There are companies that offer a potential employee a role and then renege on the offer due to reasons like "restructuring, budget issues, role is not needed subsequently". You, as the potential employee, have every right to choose which company you want to work for.

There shouldn't be any huge ramifications if you haven't signed the document and only verbally agreed. It may leave a bad impression though.

If you have signed the document, then you may want to read through the fine-print and decide then.

I'm a fresh grad who has done 2 internships so far. One of the companies I interned at is offering me $2,500 gross pay. I feel that it is too low, am I being too picky? (It's for a marketing role)?

I earn more than my husband. We have a son and want another child. Is it reasonable for me to want my husband to be the one who stays home while I go out to work?

There are people who know what they want to achieve in their career and are already working towards it. But I'm one of those who don't know what I want yet. What can I do to help myself figure out?

I earn more than my husband. We have a son and want a second child. Is it reasonable for me to want my husband to be the one who stays home while I go out to work?

My company wants us to go back every 2 weeks but ultimately to be working in the office as per before. Are your employers considering flexible work arrangements?
