Do you apply FT as a junior or as a senior?

Does FT analyst recruiting happen a year early like summer analyst applications, say you apply as a Junior for Post Grad start? Or are applications when you're a senior? And if so what dates/months is it typically? What about non-IB other finance/consulting/buyside etc roles?
