Finding Off-Cycle Buyside Internship Opps

Hey! I recently completed my junior IB internship and am wondering if anyone is familiar with finding off-cycle buyside intern opps since not many are being listed on job app platforms atm. Should I cold-email people at firms? What size firms should I look to target? How technical should I expect the interviews to be? Also, should I expect to receive a salary for it? Thank you!!!
