Am I cooked?
Recently graduated from semi/non target cad school. Finished university with ~1.5 yrs of front office internship experience across tier 1 cad banks and BB. I wanted to see what I liked so ended up doing a bunch of different groups(S&T, banking, research)
Also had some other random experience alongside some academic work experience during school but they’re kinda irrelevant.
In my final year internship, the firm had 0% returns from my division. In my final year of school I managed to get a few interviews but half of them hired no one bc of hiring freezes with the other half hiring someone who primarily specialized in that one are (for example 8 months of ib opposed to my 4 months despite the additional 12 months of other capital markets functions).
I’m also getting to the point where interviewers are starting to seriously doubt me based on not getting an RO and feel as though the longer I’m out of a job, the more skeptical interviewers will be. The worst part is I have good relationships with my past teams but I’ve been hearing head count is being reduced basically everywhere and there’s barely enough room for retuning ft’s as is.
What would you do in my shoes? Masters/mba is basically out of the question but plan to start cfa soon to stay sharp and not be twiddling my thumbs. How should I go forward from here? Am getting to the point where i feel like all the grinding for those 1.5 years of FO internship experience was for nothing
