On SA2021 IB Offer

I accepted an offer earlier with a BB IB where I built pretty good relationships with the people. For a long time, I thought BB IB was my dream career/job. This summer though, I got to do buy side investing at a great firm and I think I can see myself doing that long term way more than IB. Problem is, if I wait till FT recruiting to try to recruit, spots are really limited mostly to their target schools. Any advice from people who have gone thru this/know ppl who have?
