Need Some Advice - Drop out grad

Hey Everyone,

Current MSF student in a target in EU (non-target elsewhere) that is dropping out due to family reasons and heading back to Canada.

Hustled my way into a PWM then a Boutique IBD internship in Canada this past spring and summer. Made final round @ JPM for SA this past fall (MO/Risk) but had to drop it since quitting school.

My situation is not the best in that I have a large amount of student loans to pay off. GPA is average (around 3.3).

Will be back in Canada end of the month, just wondering if you guys have any advice for me. Should I:

1) Coldemail/call the boutiques for a FO intern/temp gig then transition (probably unpaid)
2) Applied for to non-related/ vaguely finance roles online to start paying off the loans (probably hard to transition)
3) Network and try to land a decent finance role (MO/BO would be fine for me to start)

Willing to do what it takes but just the loans are killing me and need to start paying them off.

Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it!

 

Thanks for the response, not really looking at BBs or HFs right now.

Just want to get my foot in the door for FT, but was wondering if I should:

1) just land a semi-related finance job to pay the bills and network to lateral while working or 2) dedicate myself (say for 3-5 months) to land a boutique/MM FO role and if that fails settle for option 1)
