No Return Offer from Goldman IB, Seeking Advice

I didn’t get a return offer from Goldman Sachs for investment banking, and now I’m worried about my future career.

During my feedback session, my MD told me a big reason was headcount and my midterm performance was considerably worse than the other interns in my group, despite my final performance showing immense improvement. All my MDs and the rest of my team told me that they’re more than happy to be a reference to me and help me in the future for my job hunt. 

So, I was wondering how re-recruiting without a full-time offer from GS looks like, both in banking and also other finance industries like PE, VC, etc. I come from a target school and I didn’t pursue PE recruiting this summer because I naively put all my eggs in one basket at Goldman. Now I’m worried it’s too late for PE, consulting, and other investing roles.

What should I be doing now? Will Goldman IB on my resume be a good look for me even if I didn’t get the full-time job if I apply to roles outside of finance, like consulting or corporate development? Should I be mentioning if asked about if I didn’t get a return that my MDs can be references for me? How do I reach out to alumni in banking again about my situation without it being awkward?
