Career Resources
Maybe apply for jobs? 100's in the same boat, the fact you went to a target should help (if it actually is a target).
Consider a masters but you might end up in the same situation afterwards.
For now, focus on off-cycles, which usually convert / easier than applying straight for grad.
Where's the best place to look for FT roles, not 2027 grad roles but current open roles?
Did an off-cycle but they didn't have headcount (none of the interns converted) don't want to go through that again..
Non grad roles target people with FT world experience so you will most likely not be considered
Ok, so would you recommend reaching out to recruiters then, applying for 2027 grad roles and then finding something to do until sept 2027? or anything else pls?
Start pounding the pavement bro. You could have put this into Claude.
Looking for tactical advice from people who've gone through it, not generic ai slop.
