recruiting cycle question

Early 2022 I half-assedly tried to network + apply for 2023 IB SA roles. Didn't get anything, and then just sort of focused on my current internship when I got it July of this year at a small MM PE shop. Got it through an internship program at my school (non-target).

Been kinda putting off the whole recruiting thing since then cos I was jus kinda living life, taking it easy, and thinking about what I wanna do moving forward. I've decided that I want to get back into IB recruiting and run hard this time, esp. with the new knowledge, experience, and connections I've built at my firm (which is probably not looking to hire me full time just cos I don't have the exact exp they wanted).

Just wanted to get a sense of where the most immediate in would be for me into IB? Would I be preparing for 2024 FT opps? Or is there still a chance for me to get a 2023 SA roles? If there are still 2023 opps available I'd def still pursue them.

P.S. graduating Spring 2024, Junior standing in terms of credits but basically a Sophomore cos of semester-long internships we have through my school.
