DCM 2nd yr: can’t exit nor find an offer

Currently 2nd yr analyst at HY debt syndicate. Been applying to both buyside and coverage role but have been rejected given the lack of in depth skill sets/lack of modeling work (essentially all we do daily is just pulling market update, lender list and comps). 

Wondering what the next step is here, kinda worried that I won’t get my A2A so looking at what can I do if I am unemployed.
