Big 4 TAS to IB timeline question

Searched the forum for regarding the switch. My question is regarding timeline, I've spent 2 years in Big 4 audit and switched into FDD. Im looking to go IB and wanted to know relevant timeline to make the switch. Since first years straight from undergrad usually start June/July and post bonus hires are around the January timeframe - having experience not directly in IB, relatable but not direct modeling experience when is the "right" months to be looking at the switch?
