I'm currently a junior who has the opportunity to graduate this year. I did 2 banking internships at boutique banks and will be doing a SA internship if I don't graduate. However, if I do graduate I will have to do FT recruiting. Would you recommend that I graduate this year?
If I do that means I probably won't get into a good firm, whereas if I do a SA internship, I'll probably get into a decent BB.
I was in your same shoes, and would highly recommend not graduating a full year early, especially if it means a subpar job offer. I decided to graduate a semester early. That way you get the normal internship, and can go through normal recruiting if need be. Use the off semester to travel the world or just relax on campus. We'll work for most of our lives, and a potential 5 months of freedom won't happen for 30+ years, so take advantage of it!
I've chosen to make the same decision as @"Wharton2PE" and graduate a semester later. I was at a MM bank this past summer and basically decided that I wanted another crack at the internship process. I have a similar plan as well for the semester off with the addition of studying for the GMAT.
Also of note, I believe you might be a bit late on the FT recruiting scene.
