Plz Help, Lost in SA26 Recruitment
Sorry if this post is repetitive and lost among the gazillion other SA 2026 advice seekers. I am genuinely a bit lost and uncertain about where I am in the 2026 recruitment cycle, and I would really appreciate some prospective or wake-up-call. At a target, non-diversity, STEM major; while everyone around me is getting r1s, superdays, or offers (congrats RX), I am sitting around with no legit first rounds (only automatic hirevues). I tried my best to network last semester and fired 170 emails with about 21% conversion rate - the chats are usually north of 30 minutes, and I felt they were good-decent. Joined organizations during my freshman year and had several finance-related internships. I took hard classes and maintained 3.9+ GPA. I would really appreciate any advice on improving or getting some down-to-earth grilling about my current situation. I know getting an investment banking offer requires serious effort, but I am just wondering what I can still do to improve my odds or learn from my previous failures to gear up for a full-time recruiting cycle. Perhaps I am a bit impatient with the process, but I also want to know when failure comes and prepare early for diverting to other industries. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Superdays???
several BB and EBs had their superdays alr. Super early.
For non rx?

Same situation. Only did 10 networking calls and trying to catch up but no one replying to my emails lmfao
