applying to both SA and FT positions simultaneously?

I'm a rising senior at a non-target with some work experience, one at PE and several at management consulting firms but nothing at IB.


I missed the timeline to apply for an SA position starting this year, and it seems as most of FTs are filled with SAs and the ongoing recruits are also focused on SAs.


The problems are that I may be competitive compared to other SA candidates but maybe not so much among FT candidates and that there are very few FTs available to someone with no SA experience at IB.


Would it look bad or discriminate me if I apply for both SA and FT positions at the same firm?
