When's the right time to get "incoming investment banking summer analyst" business cards made up?

Not trying to sound like a little bitch but a lot of people have started updating their LinkedIns and I'm concerned that some people may not use LinkedIn that regularly.

I was thinking I could get business cards printed up using my future IB's logo and "Incoming investment banking summer analyst" as my title.

They haven't assigned me a direct line yet, so do you think I should use the bank's switchboard number?

I got mine printed up when I was accepted into undergrad. You can never be too prepared.

make it hard to spot the general by working like a soldier
 

I'd start with a tattoo and then work your way up to a billboard like Bob Odenkirk did on Better Call Saul

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..
