Torn between Marine Reserves and staying on track in finance — need advice from anyone who’s done bot

Hey Marines (and anyone with insight), I’m currently a college student in my junior year working at a corporate bank in an early-career recruiting position. I landed this role through a career program, and it’s honestly given me a big leg up in understanding how finance hiring works — both in banks and other firms. Here’s where I’m stuck: I’ve been seriously thinking about joining the Marine Reserves. I’ve wanted to do it for a while, and I’m considering delaying my graduation by a semester or two to make it work. The plan would be: Finish my current internship in HR which is around 6 months and Go to boot camp + training (around 6 months) Come back,apply while 2 semesters left in college (fully online) and apply in August next year for 2027 analyst or internship positions in finance while the hiring session is in full affect. (I didn’t take full advantage) The concern I have is whether all my work to get where I am now in the banking world will end up being for nothing. I know money isn’t everything — that’s not what I’m worried about. It’s more about opportunity and career momentum. I’ve noticed that most veteran hiring programs in finance seem to focus on people who did 4+ years of active duty, then applied to opportunities. I rarely see people in current reserve status getting those same breaks. From what I’ve seen, a lot of reservists who apply to the big banks usually go for tech, security, or operational roles — not directly finance-related. Because of my experience in recruiting, I understand the early-career hiring process pretty well, and I’ve even reviewed applications from Marine Reservists myself. I would’ve passed some but most of them simply graduation dates didn’t align with the program’s requirements (example a requirement being that they hire people who graduate Dec 2026 - June 2027) — not because of their background. So my question is: has anyone here done Marine Reserves while staying on the finance path? Were you able to keep or land a good job in a firm or bank while serving part-time? How did you make it work — especially with training and deployment cycles? I feel like I’m in a really unique position and don’t know anyone who’s actually pulled this off. Would you take the risk and go for it, or stay fully committed to finance for now and maybe revisit military service later? Any insight from Marines or anyone who’s balanced both worlds would mean a lot as I’ll keep asking my own senior peers in this market to see what they think.
