Unconventional Timeline?

Rising sophomore here. Will be graduating a semester early and had a question about how FT recruiting works in my case. Since I'm graduating in January, and most kids begin FT during their summer, will BB/EB firms allow me to begin work early as well (ideally in February)? I know I could be traveling in the last semester, but want to begin early for financial reasons.

 

Thanks for the insight! Would u say most banks are open to early starts, or are these the only two instances in which u are familiar with?

 

Curious to hear anyone else's experiences with graduating a semester early (or if you know someone who did), and whether your/their ib firms allowed ~6 month early start.
