Graduating a year early -- After IB SA Summer
Hi, ( I dont know why it says I'm an associate, ignore that, I'm in college)
I have the opportunity to graduate a year early from college, mainly due to AP's I took in high school. This just became a real option for me, as I wasn't aware I'd be able to do this previously. I'd have to take an asynchronous online course this summer (which is a joke, i'll be able to do it)
I am an incoming SA at a BB in IB, and am hoping for the return offer (obviously).
If I were to get the return offer, would the bank have any problem with me moving my graduation up and then returning the following summer for FT? The resume I applied with and the graduation date I gave implied a May 2023 graduation, but I'd prefer to 1) save money and 2) travel / be with my fiance. The new graduation date would be May 2022.
If I were to not get a return offer, I'd definitely return and recruit for FT opportunities.
Any insight or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
Following. In a similar situation next year.
nah they don’t gaf. had a friend do the exact same thing and banks are chill with it.
on a separate note, how are you in college with a fiancé already? do you go to BYU
Not OP here - but lmaoo I way laughed way too hard at this shit as an incoming summer analyst…who is married…and who goes to BYU…spot on bro😂😂
I would email your recruiter now and ask - shouldn't be a problem, but technically eligibility for the position means you graduate in either Dec 22 or May 23. May 22 should be fine if you just want to travel and relax, but they might need to note it in their system
They might be slightly hard pressed to let you start on an expedited timeline just because the rest of your class and training doesn’t occur until the following summer.
With that said, I have seen people join at the turn of the year and then once training switch to training (which is a nice little break).
However, I would say that you have your entire life to work at an investment bank. Take 6 months or however long to go do something you love and then you can always start in Jan 2023. Imo no real upside to starting in Sep immediately after vs waiting a bit.
Currently in the same boat as OP. Do you know how receptive banks are to an early start (Jan)? And is there an option to let them know at the end of the internship or will I have to reach out to the staffer? Thanks in advance!
Am interested in hearing about this as well.
