Early grad, When should I start applying?

Hey everyone. I know this has been answered somewhat, but I was looking for a direct answer.

I'm graduating a semester early in December from undergrad. I was wondering when is the earliest possible time I can start applying. I'm hoping to do S&T or PE but I want to cast a good size net to evaluate my options.

I'll be able to do interviews as I'm in NYC anyways. I'm eager to start the job search.

Appreciate the help.
