Have I missed the FT consulting boat?

Recently did an internship in AM/IB/PE and realized I’m more interested in consulting. I also realized I missed the MBB timeline, but I’m interested in T2s and good boutique consulting firms, have these also passed? It seems that FT consulting recruiting is less structured than the industry I’m coming out of. Would love to hear some clearer insights as to what I have missed/when things heat up in terms of application deadlines and such.
