Im a senior graduating this December, I was told that you could request to start during the start of the year and it depends on your team whether they accept or not.
Is it worth it, or it better to do start during the summer with the rest of the cohort?
Also if my manager knows I graduate in December is it a bad look if I don’t ask to start when I graduate?
