I’m a MSF student. I am certainly having trouble finding opportunities and it seems like it’s really not looking good for my chances. I am honestly open to boutiques in the nyc and clt areas with smaller deals. It seems like off cycle is my only shot. Does anyone have any advice for places to look into?

Not over at all but this has been the worse FT cycle in a decade
what makes you say that compared to 2021 ft during covid, or 24 ft?
lateral market was top then, 24 FT was more robust I had folks leveraging offers from MM ATL to WF NYC, 5 ppl from lower BB to top 3 BB, guys with no RO getting offers at EBs none of that happened this cycle
