Help with SA and FT conflicting deadlines

Have a 2024 FT offer. I also accepted a 2024 SA position.

Is it normal to ask for an late FT IB start date so that I can do my senior year/ post graduation Summer Analyst gig ?

Plan on graduating, then doing SA from June to Aug, and then starting full time.

Is this doable ?

People who try and do this usually want to get a FT offer at the SA place and figure they'll do a masters or something if they get that SA offer, but figure they can hold onto the the FT offer as a backup.

Even if this isn't the case, HR / your FT group will not be happy with this as they will think you may drop out of the FT class last minute if you get the SA offer. Your offer says a June/July start - this is not consulting, there are no alternate start dates. Would really implore you not to ask about this.

If you want more internship experience, do it during the school year. Otherwise drop one of the two offers on your own.
