Quick question, I know we are arguing semantics here, but if I signed an offer letter to start July 2017 as an anlyst for an investment bank, am I technically an employee right now or do i become an employee of the firm when I start working?

Your contract may say, I have a "period of employment" so it would imply I am not an employee outside of those dates.
Disclaimer: Not a lawyer.
Actually its not just a semantic argument as employment falls under contract law, and thus so does the official start date as that is when both the employee and employer need to satisfy certain obligations agreed upon in the contract and according to applicable state and federal laws.
Usually there is an agreed-upon formal start date between you and the firm, either in the offer letter (which is a contract itself) or settled after signing if there is a clause that simply states the employee must start by a certain date but fails to list an exact date.
My understanding is that unless otherwise specified, your first day of work is when you would officially become an employee. If there are more complicating factors given your personal situation outside of just wondering when to put it on your resume or LinkedIn or whatever (i.e. if you need to sign other legal documents asking for an official start date of employment), I would reach out to clarify with the company their thoughts on when you would officially become an employee and consult an employment attorney if needed.
It says that my start date would technically be around July 2017, so I'm assuming until then, I'm not an employee.
Seems like a reasonable assumption to me.
