Is it possible to beat a hiring freeze?

Obviously the market is rather unsavory at the moment. Sitting on the sidelines with a BB Trading internship and a L/S Equity ER internship while graduating this May. Doing everything possible to land but it’s just not quite sticking. Networking my ass off (20 calls a week), cold emails with pitches, models, 15/20 page theses but regardless of interest there’s just no room.

Any other suggestions on how to beat the odds?
