Breaking into IB - Desperate

Hi all,

I need advice on how to break into the industry. My dream (big word) has always been to work at a BB bank (IB or securitization) or in a big PE firm, but I'm struggling to get there.

I don't have a mentor or personal connections that could help me, and despite getting into some processes, I never get chosen in the end. I was able to get there because I learned everything by myself and tried to hone my skills as best as I could.

Now I'm stuck. I feel like I'm doing some things right, and it SHOULD eventually pay off, but I also think that karma doesn't owe me anything, and I might never achieve what I want.

What should I do now?

PS: I am a double major in Engineering and Business from a target school with some internships (no-name) and just graduated. I've been looking for a job for a few months now.
