College Senior with 1 YOE in Buyside ER - Advice Needed

1st post on WSO, I interned recently at a >$1B MM HF and a top long-only fund in one of their subsidiaries in NYC as an ER intern.

I’ve known for a while I want to work in buyside ER after graduation, but the job market has been tough. Exhausting my efforts but still stuck without a FT offer (previous funds never hire grads).

I’d appreciate any advice and guidance from anyone
