Jobs that don't have such early recruiting deadlines?

Not sure where I'm supposed to post this but here it goes. So apparently investment-banks started taking applications from Sophomores for the 2019 SA position around Winter this year. With how early recruiting is now, are there other jobs within high-finance that aren't as cut-throat with recruiting? Or are most jobs such as AM/CB/S&T/Consulting/ER following this same format (just to name a few)?

It seems like you need a Freshman Summer/Sophomore Fall IB/PE internship now to be even considered.

Thanks.

Everything’s kind of moving up in lockstep, as I understand. When one top firm / group moves its deadlines up, the rest have to follow in order to avoid losing out on the best candidates. When I was in school, we had one IB decide to start interviews ahead of schedule and suddenly the rest were calling kids at random to do 1st rounds. I figure this will continue until senior bankers realize that the kids they’re interviewing haven’t had enough time to accumulate any meaningful experience.
