Am I Cooked?

Currently a senior at a non-target graduating in May with internship experience in corp treasury and IR, as well as finance ops at a small WM firm. I've been networking since August and have applied to various positions in AM and ER, but have only made it to one round of technical interviews (most firms I was straight up denied). I just passed the SIE and don't know what else to do. Am I cooked? Should I settle for financial advising?
