PE Recruiting in the South

I have accepted a ft offer doing ib in a tier 2/3 city in the south starting this summer. I am interested in interviewing for pe associate roles, but I am not sure when the appropriate time to be reaching out is. I want to stay in the same city so I am not looking at MF, my city only has lmm funds. When does recruiting start in these type of markets?
