Do investment banks let you graduate a year early before full-time?
Hello, I got SA 2025 a while back but I want to save money by graduating a year early, which I am able to do. I was wondering how receptive banks are to this. Has anyone done this before or know people who have? Will banks just let you chill for a year before you start?
Bump, same situation
Depends on headcount needs.
Can you elaborate?
Had an older friend who did this at GS, even if they let you start immediately, I think it would be wise to take at least Sept-Dec off and just do something you love for a few months.
Yea I wasn’t planning on starting immediately. I would take the whole year to relax if I could lol
Definitely do things you won’t have time to do over at least the next 2 years, like travelling, pursuing hobby, personal challenge, volunteer, something out of your comfort zone, etc. Will help tremendously with mental health, being able to relate to more people, and just overall happiness in life. Whatever it is, 4 months of head start at work won’t make much difference financially or from a professional development standpoint over the long run. A differentiated experience pre-FT though, will.
