Graduating a semester early, how does that impact recruiting?

Hey guys, so I have a MM S&T summer analyst offer. Initially, I was going to graduate in May 2023; however, I decided to take a couple more classes to graduate in December 2022. How would this impact my FT recruiting schedule? I'm looking for FT apps open so I can hop over to IB M&A and start by January, but they all seem to be filled. Would I have to wait till next summer if I want to start at another bank? I believe my bank will let me start in January if I graduate in December, but I am leaning more towards hopping into M&A or the Industrials team. Thanks for the advice!
