Joining top IB for SA, but Recruit for FT MF PE or Not?

Currently a junior at a top target joining a top banking group (MS M&A/GS TMT/PJT RSSG). I am going into the summer with the mindset of getting the return offer is my priority but some of my friends are already thinking about recruiting for MF PE roles for FT

I know that I want to do MF PE after banking but not sure if right out of undergrad is best for me. Should I still try and network to see if I can even get an offer or should I just wait for on-cycle? I know its very competitive during both processes but I cant help but feel like I'm missing out if I don't recruit now.

Everything about this post screams insecurity. Op probs has Wharton ‘23 on his/her instagram bio instead of Penn.
