Any Team in Los Angeles Looking for Experienced Sell-side M&A Hire?

Have never been too comfortable asking for anything. However, it's been tough the past few months of cold emailing, applying, and going through several processes to get to the final round and not make the cut so here I am asking if anyone is looking to add a junior banker to their team. I've got a fairly diversified, yet rounded, background having been on both sides of the trade (sell/buy-side) and with transaction experience. I've also got public accounting, corporate finance, and corporate development and strategy experience. I am open to a review of my CV and case studies (completed on my own volition) to determine the best fit though the feedback thus far is that my experience (and technical abilities) places me in the junior associate bucket (I am open-minded to different options). Thanks in advance for the read and to those going through something similar, be creative and stay resolute. Fight on.
