What should I be doing now as a 2029 Grad in London?

I do PPE at LSE and so graduate in 2029 as the degree is 4 years. Haven't really got any experience directly relevant to finance, and missed the window for most of LSE's finance-related societies. Not sure what I should be doing now. I have a job and society position, but neither are particularly relevant. Is cold emailing a productive and effective way to use my time now? My goal is to make myself competitive for spring weeks next year.

bro I think I know who you are (initials MR)

You have been messaging everyone in the industry asking "how can I break into IB, any advice" over and over

At a certain point you have all the damn information and its just mental masturbation. Start taking action, stop asking questions
