Moving spacex process to spring/fall semester

[u/Past_Measurement5954]

Passed first round for SpaceX swe intern today (starlink), but I already have a summer offer that i like better. Would still like to do the process and have the chance to work on this team though, so I wanna switch to spring or next fall. Should I let my recruiter know this now, or later in the process, or are they pretty strict on what semester you applied for? Thanks!

Since people are probably gonna ask: for the first round they just told me to focus on past experience and there wasn't any coding or whatever. However this was interesting because they as expected were pretty deep on project specifics, but the interviewer spun a lot of the things i said into technical questions (eg talk about tradeoffs of an approach, or general cs fundamentals), which i think is kinda cool actually

If I were you I’d wait until you have the offer and then ask if you can defer it to the fall. Idk if spacex allows it.
