Insight/Lead Edge open for SA 2026 on Handshake

I wasn’t expecting 2026 stuff to open this early. Haven’t really networked with either firm yet, are we expected to apply now/ within the next couple of weeks? The application says super-days are in January. Would appreciate some color

They do this every year lol just network in october/nov with them and apply after u have some good calls

 

u should let kids have time to consider what they do instead of encouraging timeline acceleration.

very interested in reasoning for opening apps this early.
