Graduate early and start FT in January?

I'm currently a third-year college student considering graduating a semester early in fall 2023. If I receive a return offer from this summer, would I be able to start full-time in January 2024 instead of waiting til September? And if I recruit for other firms, do they usually extend FT offers for AN1 starting in January? Thank you

Why would you want to start early?

Unless you financially need to I'd recommend starting with your summer analyst class. Enjoy your time off and travel if you can. Mentally you know how the industry is. I would take as much time to pursue your own interests before you enter the grind. 6 months wont make much of a difference.

I'm international so unfortunately wouldn't be able to graduate early and not be employed since it will affect my visa
