MBB start dates are flexible and I’ve known students who started at all points during the year depending on firm needs. My D will start in November/December/January by choice.

Having been in a national recruiting role with Deloitte for 10+ years before recently retiring, I can verify that we had a “December class” every year, for as long as I can remember. I had many discussions with recruits weighing offers from other consulting firms, including some of the other “Big Four”. (I can’t speak for my Audit/Advisory colleagues - they ran a completely separate effort).
Recruiting for those classes took place in the fall, so you son would need to wait until his “extras” semester for recruiting. The good news is that this process has become earlier and earlier over the years. When campus visits were in November, with offers going out in Jan/Feb. this would be a challenge. Full-time recruiting is now a compressed September-October process (at least pre-pandemic).

When was the typical interview deadline for the December start date new hires ?
Thank you for responding via edit in your post directly above.
It’s a supply and demand world. Yes there’s less opportunity in December but there’s even less supply. So on an overall basis it’s not an issue. Specific programs maybe.
This years grad’s are struggling. They’re competing with last years grads. The job market is hit but not for new grads believe it or not.
A patent agent. Never thought of that! Interesting. He’s a math and physics double major. Won’t likely take any bio or chem. We have two family members who have undergraduate engineering degrees and then went to law school and are patent attorneys and love it! I guess that’s the same thing as a patent agent?
Patent agents do not need a law degree.
The US government has a 43 page pdf document (GeneralRequirements Bulletin)describing the rquirements / qualfications at https://www.uspto.gov/>documents>OED-GRB.pdf
Go to “Learning and Resources” then on left bottom to “Becoming a Patent Practitioner”.
To the best of my knowledge,Patent Agents can work in Patent Law Firms alongside Patent Attorneys–but I am not certain.
Pay range tends to be about $80,000 to $150,000.
P.S. Ask @itsgettingreal21 about taking GMAT or GRE for MBA or grad school. Daughter earned deferred admission to both Harvard Business School (MBA) and to Stanford GSB (Graduate Business School). This is a life changing accomplishment. Also knows about major consulting firms.
