What are my options?
Yes, most EBs and BBs did their processes in August and September. Some processes were done a week after the SA program ended.
Not to be rude, but if you're asking this question in November, you probably didn't have much of a chance given it doesn't seem like you have been tapped into applications and processes. There will be some MM spots that might still be recruiting in the coming weeks, but what is left is likely regional boutiques that will kick off sporadically.
However, given the election results yesterday I honestly think there is a decent chance some BBs or even EBs have another process for FT analysts at the start of next year.
