No return offer from BB - what to do next?

Hi Monkeys,

I'm an international student currently based in New York. I spent the summer in HK working as an IBD SA with a BB but didn't get a return offer, and then wasted a few months doing interviews with PE shops back and forth yet failed to land anything. Now I'm months away from graduation and just wanted to know if anyone - I guess based in Asia - has any advice on getting a full-time offer at this point (understand it's past recruiting season - shame on me) in these fields. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
