On-Cycle Recruiting/Full Time Recruiting

Just wanna get advice on on-cycle recruiting or full time recruiting for PE, thx!

My background: currently a junior at one of top Ivy (H/M/Y), an incoming summer IBD analyst at top BB, hoping to go to buy side, especially Bain (living in Boston), any advice on when to start networking (senior year?) and when to start worry about it. Thx!

curious about when to start networking for FT PE - seems some firms start interviews at the start of summer, and others do after summer analysts areF done?
