Recruiting Plan B?

So...recruiting for SA 2019 hasn't gone well, I haven't quite finished yet cos I'm also looking at positions outside of US, but it's not looking too bright. Anyhow, I will keep grinding and that's not the focus of this thread. But as a plan B, what industries / roles do people usually look towards for junior summer or entry level full-time as a back-up to IB? Would appreciate any inputs people have.

To be honest, you're going to have to provide a little more background on yourself for us to offer you other career paths. First though, remove the word "cos" from your vocabulary.
