CS -> Finance

I'm a junior at a target tech school, and I've been wanting to step my foot into banking for a couple years, but the recruiting process seems so distant to me as I initially prepared for SWE jobs. I do not see myself in software engineering anymore, and I have been working on personal projects such as financial analysis with machine learning. Currently, I'm more interested in quant finance jobs and tech consulting. I know that I'm late to IB recruitment, but what are my possible job opportunities at this point? I'm in desperate need of outside advice since all of my networks in the CS field. Any firm names or job position recommendations would be helpful. 

P.S) I'm an Asian female, with leadership experience and personal projects in financial analysis. I have studied the WSO technical interview guide for IB
