What to do?

Hey guys, so I’ve recently been laid off from a boutique bank on a TMT team. I was a 2nd year analyst that had 4 closed transactions in my 2 years but they halted promotions, and since I was up for promotion, I was laid off. My question is what to do now? I have applied and interviewed for numerous positions throughout IB ranging from boutique to EB to MM firms. All have been passed but as per usual there isn’t a response given. So what do I do now, as we all know the market is very tough but what could I do next after IB that could help me land a job asap? Any responses helpful getting through this!

Keep networking and applying. I’d say networking is the most important and leverage the relationships you have in the space.
