Where is everyone at right now who didnt get a RO

Those who finished their IB SA and didnt get a return, what are you guys doing? Applying for IB FT? Networking (is anyone answering you guys)? Are you jumping ship to something else? Curious to hear

Trying to land, but if I don't get anything in IB, I'm going to pivot out of finance completely tbh.

I really don't want to be spending 2+ years playing catchup, and the exit I want is pretty obtainable from the different path I'm considering.
