I only just recently realized I want to pursue IB as a career, but sa positions are already opening and my networking/cold calls can only get me so far. I’m already using flash cards to memorize technicals, what else can I do?

Technicals really aren't that hard; tbh depends on what school you go to and how much people are willing to push you forward. Also depends what bank it is(EBs tend to be harder than BBs/MMs) but for most interviews honestly if you have a good conceptual understanding of the guides and basic valuation/corporate finance then you'll be fine.
