Are there any firms recruiting entry level equity research associates

I graduated in December of 2018 and have been trying to find an ER associate role around the US. I haven't found any entry level roles that will give me a shot and I'm sending out mass emails every week to try and connect with people. Does anyone know of ER roles that may still be recruiting off cycle? I have internships in boutique IB, PWM, and business dev. I'm looking everywhere but out of the hundreds of jobs I've looked for, they all say that 1-2 years of experience is required. I'm still applying and trying to network though.
