Feel so bad

Am at a target studying STEM and graduating in 2026. Literally have got 0 interviews. I have decent ish experience (PE and Markets at decent names but nothing IB). Speak a European language as I am from Italy/France/Germany. I don't know what to do anymore. Feels like shit seeing everyone with interviews and getting through rounds whereas I have not interviewed once. I spent tons of time networking and studying. Bankers say my CV is good and mock interviews are good too. What should I even do? I know I should be focusing on other stuff but very hard to not feel like shit. Is anyone else going through the same stuff?
