graduating in 4.5 years?

Hi, I'm a junior studying CS and Business/econ at a west coast target. I have an SA at an EB locked in for this summer, but as I was planning out my next few semesters, I realized that it would be pretty difficult to fit in all my classes by the time I'm done with my senior year (would have to take 4-5 business/econ classes my last semester), especially because I'm planning on studying abroad which is very important to me, so I'm considering taking an extra semester. If I get a return offer/full time recruit and land an ft gig, would it be possible to potentially delay the start by 6 months (until after I graduate)?

 

Hey - Generally this does not work unfortunately. Maybe for lateral/smaller shops you can delay the start date but for fresh grad roles at most mid/large banks there is a structured onboarding (including weeks of training etc) that most banks only do once a year when all the grads start (July).
