Hey guys. So I just finished my SA stint as an incoming senior at a boutique. They really liked me and told me that they wanted me to keep in touch and come back when I graduate. I'm graduating early, so I'll be done in January. I was just wondering what could go wrong in a situation like this. Could they possibly change their mind? Thanks.

Similar to many threads here, don't settle until you have something in writing.
That's the tricky part. Since I have one semester left, it's going to be off need basis as soon as I graduated. The partner told me he would love to have me there and everything, but it depends on if they needs more people. Wish I could fast forward to January.
Recruit for other places. Biggest downside of waiting is them reneging on you if market slows down and you graduate without a job. Try to win as many offers as possible and tell the boutique "here are the offers I have, either you provide something in writing now or I sign elsewhere". Might seem harsh but honestly you will put yourself in a very bad position if you don't sign. This comes from seeing friends who were promised verbal offers but got reneged last minute.
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
At this stage, you have no birds, no bush, possibly no hands.
Go get some interviews.
