Am I gonna be unemployed?

Hello Monkeys, just here for guidance on knowing if I am cooked considering the Market nowadays.

Going to LBS MFA (over LSE MiF) & Oxford rejected me, not interested in HEC already a prepa+grande ecole kid.

So I will have LBS MFA on my CV + a semi target MiM undergrad, and about 1yr xp in IB at MM bank.

I am a 23y Male, 705gmat focus 4/4 gpa. 

I want to go for DCM/ECM in London at top banks, obviously BB is the dream but MM would be nice too.

Considering the market, am I cooked or do I have (on paper) decent chances?

Asking because I will take quite a lot of debt for this London life.

Thanks!
