Am I screwed despite going to target?

Hi, I would first like to extend my warm appreciation for the community’s help and advice while looking through forums.

I currently attend a Target school (Think Arizona State University, Univeristy of Alabama- Tuscaloosa) and wanted to leverage my assets to engage in the industry.

I am looking to get into a BB (think Brazzers, PHub, xHamster), I held an SA position with a MM firm in the Southwest (Exploited College Girls) and was looking to leverage that into a return offer but have not yet received one.

In college I worked hard to network with major Partners and Managing Directors such as Khalifa and Reid but only received contact from Harper.

I also worked on my Cup and brought it from a C to a D. Although some tell me Cup doesn’t matter I still have engaged academically to bring it up another letter.

My work as an SA for Exploited of course involved me being treated like shit like any other analysts, I worked on a major acquisition project for the firm in which I formed a male partnership as well. I spent hours working on a pitch book that was actually made public when you search my firms name (Exploited College Girls) as well as my name Jennifer.

My question is how can I leverage my position at a target school, experience, and cup to get an offer? I want to ideally work in the most prestigious offices for these companies (Los Angeles). I then want to leverage exit opps such as Private Brothels

I guess what’s going for me is that I do not go to a non-target like many of my friends, (Think University of Michigan, MIT).

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Ape tube is beyond prestigious and is almost impossible to get a job at even if going to a target like me. Unless you’re Kate Upton’s daughter your not getting a job there straight after graduating
