Starting off in TS, how soon should I be looking to make the switch to IB?

I interned at one of the Big 4 TS practices and will be returning because I was not able to find an offer in IB. Since I will be working in NYC, I was wondering if I should be applying during off-cycle recruiting this upcoming winter? Most positions ask for at least 1 year of experience and I haven't started working yet. When is the best time to start reaching out to alumni/making phone calls?
