2025 FT Recruiting Advice

I am will be a 2025 grad from a semi-non target with a 3.55gpa. I have experience in healthcare audit and am a 2024 intern in big tech ops finance (Google, Amazon, Microsoft). 2024 SA IB roles were very tough, but I could’ve done more prep. When should I begin to network for FT & what roles should I focus on? I am open to starting in a different position than IB that I could lateral to if needed.
