Hey EY fish, I would appreciate your thoughts on my situation. I recently received an offer through the MBA pipeline this recruiting cycle and recruiters mentioned the start date would likely be in the fall.

My wife is a travel advisor and we have an opportunity to go on a luxury safari in Africa September 28 through October 9, but I am worried it could overlap with a potential start date. I have also seen posts about EY pushing start dates in recent years.

Is this likely this year too?
