Question for the hivemind: I'm a 2L going into a SA position at a mid-size regional firm. My spouse and I are relocating for the summer, and she secured her dream job; so, to not spend a semester apart, I arranged my units to complete the fall semester remotely and graduate December 2021. I plan on taking the February 2022 bar in my state.
Obviously it's early now to talk about an offer. But, assuming I get an offer, is it appropriate to ask about starting early at the firm? If so, when is that question best raised, and what's a tactful way to phrase it without sounding presumptuous? I have something in mind, but I'd really appreciate advice from those with actual experience in firms.
Thanks so much!

Re: Tactfully asking about early employment?
there's nothing wrong with asking.... after you get an offer. As long as you're polite, the worst that can happen is that they say no.
Before getting an offer, I'd recommend not asking anything out of the ordinary.
