Final-Year with no offers
Hi, I am a final-year graduating this July, unable to secure any full-time IB Analyst or Off-Cycle positions. Last summer, I interned as an Investment Banking summer analyst at a respectable Investment Bank, but didn't secure a return offer. When it came to recruiting this year, I applied mainly for full-time roles, not realising I could still apply for summer internships despite being in my final year. Since I had no luck on the full-time side of things, I tried my hat at Off-Cycle recruiting, but was limited from applying to several due to applying for a full-time role previously in the same cycle. Of the off-cycle internship interviews I have had, I thought they had gone well, but I still either haven't heard back from them or been rejected. Now, I feel incredibly lost and don't really know what to do or how to go about it. What is my next best option? I genuinely feel so confused as I know I have performed in these interviews answering my technicals correctly and doing extensive research on the firm. Now with the recruiting season starting up again in the next few months, do I mainly prioritise full-time opportunities or off-cycle? I don't often hear success stories from full-time applications so any insight into that would be amazing.
start learning it, sales, culinary arts, management consulting, or habbo hotel.

Look into anything somewhat related, I’ve seen spots in commercial banking, valuation, corporate development etc etc. polish up your story, including your answer for why you didn’t get a return, and reach out to as many as people as possible in roles you’re interested in. Also if you’re on good terms with anyone from your internship reach out to them and see if they’d be down to help you out.
