Very much prefer Agency A's work and also, Agency B is shift-based and Covid-exposed. If you are unemployed, would you take up Agency B out of desperation, but quit if Agency A does come back with an offer? Will you get blacklisted by Agency B subsequently? Any comments would be appreciated.
From experience, I would not recommend jobs which involve shift work especially if you are a graduate. Even more if it involves exposure to covid.

If its a perm position, I don't think you can quit shortly after joining without incurring a 'bad' reputaition. So think carefully
