Am I cooked for FO finance positions in long-term?
I'm a recent graduate from a selective non-target (BU, NEU, Fordham, etc.). My long-term goals are S&T, IB, PE (lol), IM, AM, and other roles in high finance.
In college, I held leadership positions in my school's finance club and worked multiple part-time jobs (2–3 concurrently) while overloading on credits to stay afloat financially.
I interned in Market Risk Advisory (model validation) at a Big 4 firm and received a return offer with a delayed start date (90k comp). I dreaded this role and tried to break into other finance positions in the meantime, but had no luck. There seem to be very few openings right now, and many people with IB internship experience (who didn’t get return offers) are competing for the same roles.
Before starting at Big 4, I held a Forecasting role at a niche accounting firm (70k comp), where I learned a lot about financial modeling (though it was primarily for real estate).
I can’t afford an MBA or grad school at the moment, and I need to support my parents financially.
What path can I take to break free from my current situation, or am I completely cooked? Would appreciate any advice.
