Early Start Date?
London specific - Generally speaking are banks receptive to the idea of starting a few months early after graduation rather than waiting until September? i.e. Starting in June rather than September

You mean hitting the desk earlier than the rest of your class as a graduate A1?
Highly doubt it - if you are working at a somewhat big firm they want to start everyone together because you go through the same training schedule the first few weeks.
Maybe if you were an experienced lateral hire, but I think it would be extremely odd for a graduate to hit the desk before the rest of their class.
It would be Citi...
My bank has been encouraging us to start part time early (before official start to the grad program)
Is it a BB ?
But why would you want to do this..?
Do not start earlier. Best to begin with the rest of your class and enjoy your summer vacation.
We don’t get 2-3 month vacations after graduating.
