Completely lost after no return offer. Have I been kicked out of finance?

Obviously I've been applying for FT recruiting but it's looking grim because the banks will have their pick of kids who actually got a return.

Seems like the same case for anything in high finance. Fields like wealth management, corporate banking looks like aren't hiring or i may have missed the boat on this one…

Is it over? Someone tell me it'll be alright lol. What do I even do? Do I look at Big 4?
