Hope for 2025 FT IB Recruiting?

Senior (3.7 finance) at a non target, literally just completed a PC internship that doesn’t convert. Any hope for FT IB? Hearing that many firms are almost finished recruiting. Should I try to network (I haven’t done it at all for IB) to get into any remaining FT processes?"

In a similar spot myself. Did a corp dev internship instead of PC but gpa and school situation is almost identical. 
 

I’ve already started looking at other roles too. Assumed the lack of a SA stint and the current job market will make IB tough even if I network.

Interested to see what people actually in the industry think though.
