UK to US: what else is there?

I'm at a UK uni but I'm a US citizen.

I don't think I'll get any spring weeks. I have little confidence for a future in IB.

What else is there? What can I do from where I am now?

Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“Overall it was a seamless process with very little back and forth. The feedback was very clear and actionable. It was very obvious were my short comings were and where I needed to improve my resume. Feed back was very constructive and overall was super helpful. The process was very streamlined and efficient. The only thing I would improve from the process not necessarily the mentor was that there should be a way to disclose if you are under a non disclosure agreement because that created some friction when implementing feedback.”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Luke was extremely helpful in giving me a clearer understanding of the steps I need to take to improve my positioning for investment banking recruitment. We focused on three key areas: strengthening and refining my resume, being more intentional and consistent with networking, and dedicating significant time to technical preparation. I especially appreciated how Luke was concise and straight to the point with his feedback. He clearly identified where I can improve and provided actionable advice that I can immediately apply as I continue preparing for the recruiting process.”
