Sophomore Recruiting Finance / Advice on trackers or where to find other opportunities besides IB?

Hey guys! I'm currently a sophomore who's pursuing a career in finance. I'm recruiting IB but also have been looking into pursuing W/AM or Investing / PC / GE as well (just casting a wide net). As a non-target feel like I need to be as open as possible for recruiting! Was wondering if anybody knew of a tracker besides Bristol for application drop dates for firms that aren't your typical top credit shops / BB's / EBs to explore opportunities for Sa 27 or even this summer?

And do any of you have experiences recruiting IB + other high finance seats? Any advice / tips? Thank you guys so much, genuinely appreciate any advice as someone p stressed out and directionless rn haha
