Don't know what to do

I have been trying to lateral out to a top BB, MM, or EB the past 3 months. Have only gotten 2 interviews but got turned down by both. Feeling super discouraged right now. I would like to lateral before summer but it's not looking to good as I never hear back from most firms. Unsure of what to do right now. How long does it usually take to hear back once you apply?
