Alternatives to IB?

I'm a recent graduate from a semi target (top public think Umich/Berkeley) and have a 3.7 with a few decent internships (IB + ER) but I missed the SA recruiting because I was working on my startup. I've been cold emailing and hitting up some contacts and have had little luck since FT IB is pretty much done and even the boutiques are not hiring. What do I do now? In this market I dont even think I can land big 4. And I really do NOT want to waste $80k on an MSF. Any advice would be appreciated, this fucking sucks.

Big 4 will hire legit anyone. If your content with Big 4 they will hire a fucking corpse. Just find something for now (ER/Big 4) if possible then lateral to IB or something else when the market picks up.
