Graduating senior with S&T offer needs advice...

I'm in the following situation and need advices on how to follow up. So I'm a graduating senior at a target, originally due to graduate in June. The thing is, I did not intern last summer so this summer I went for S&T SA recruitment, stating on my resume that I'm graduating 2013 Jan, doing an extra term.

Today I received my S&T offer from a BB, what I want is to graduate in June and not doing the extra term (do not want to pay tuition, tired of study etc) But I went through the whole process as if I would graduate in 2013 Jan...

So how should I proceed from now on? I'm thinking of writing to either one of the MD or HR about my situation and ask whether I can graduate early... Would this somehow result in my offer being withdrawn? Or can I go on and graduate, do the internship and communicate with them from there on?

If I were you, I would shut up and do my internship. I doubt that they would withdraw the offer but don't take the risk, especially if this is your only offer.

Go ahead, do the internship, and discuss that with them near the end of the internship if necessary.

  • If they don't care, good.
  • If they are not happy, worst they can do is to deny a FT offer, which is highly unlikely if you prove yourself during the internship, 6 months of studies won't change your life and you can always invent some BS story to explain why you don't want to study anymore and changed your mind. AND you have the SA on your resume, which is a BIG PLUS for FT recruiting at other firms even if they deny you the offer.

PS : last year I was in a situation that is the opposit of yours. I wanted to graduate 1 year LATER (for personal reasons) I didn't talk about it until I got a return offer which i obviously denied since I wasn't graduating on time, they were not that pleased but that's life. Far better than talking about it before the SI and risk your position.
