Accepting a job knowing you could leave within 6 months

Hi guys,

I was wondering thoughts on accepting a job offer(Job A- Fintech)whilst still interviewing for another role(Job B- IB). Im fairly confident I’ll land Job B; that being said, Job B would start in the fall at the earliest. So could I get away with taking Job A knowing that I’ll leave very shortly. I truly do need the money, but idk how bad what I’m doing really is. Ideally I’d negotiate an earlier start date, but that doesn’t look feasible atm.

Sure, honestly this post is lowkey a way of checking my conscience for something I know I need to do. Just feels a bit dishonest, taking a permanent role knowing it’s absolutely temporary in your eyes. I’ll defo read the contract wrt the next probation period/returning any bonuses.
