Rising junior with no SA23 position right now in IB. Have done some networking, but missed the cycle of applications to BBs and have applied to some MMs, but haven't gotten past hirevues/virtuals. Any ideas of what I can possibly do to try and get a SA position. At a target school with 3.8 GPA and PE internship experience.

Here are some options:
1. Network and apply to industry specific boutiques and middle market banks
2. If you’re at a target, there should be a few applications still up on Handshake for middle market PE and GE. Apply for those.
3. Apply for Corporate Banking or S&T, and attempt to lateral to IB for FT.
4. Pivot to consulting. Wave 2 of MBB applications are due in about two weeks for McK/Bain.
