I'm a recent graduate from a target school in the northeast and was unable to secure a job at this point. For background, I had a 3.9 gpa, previous internship at an EB (private capital advisory), and other relevant finance internships (wealth/asset management). I have had some success networking but it seems everyone I speak to tells me that they wish they could help but its too late in the cycle. What should my next steps be?

sounds like you need to go get an MBA and then be a first year associate that knows nothing
Or try and network at a boutique that have alumni working there and work there for a little and try full time a BB. I have a few friends that did this when they didn't have a job at their target bank after they graduated
