Feeling Miserable: Seeking Advice on Next Move
Hi Guys,
I graduated in 2014 from a semi-target. While there, I recruited for IB roles and landed an offer that unfortunately got rescinded right before graduation. After I graduated I managed to get a corporate finance role and I have been working in this sector for 3 years across two roles (FP&A and Operations / Analytics). I don't particularly like my job and I have been extremely bored with my responsibilities. Furthermore, my company I am with right now offers very little in terms of upward mobility.
Over the past 4-5 months I have tried to move into a higher paying/more interesting job and have had some traction. I have networked with Equity Research and Corp Dev jobs and made it to an ER superday at a MM (in my sector) as well as a Corp Dev case study (out of my sector) and two first-round corp dev interviews. The problem I keep running into is that everybody in corp dev wants ex-bankers / consulants, and the only ER analysts willing to give me an interview are in my niche sector. Given that I am a few years out of school, I figure IB/S&T/HF/PE are not possible.
Really hoping to find some help here as to what direction I should head in. Saving b-school as a last-resort backup option a couple years down the line but really dont want to have to go due to financial/logistic reasons as well as general aversion to academia.

Still in school so my opinion isn't worth shit. But if your job is boring I'm guessing you have some downtime? Wouldn't hurt you at all to email every single alumni possible in Boutique IBs and see if it'd lead anywhere. Whyed your offer get rescinded?
You can still get IB/PE/HF interviews while in CF. Give it a shot.
Its a long shot, but you can still go to interviews (if you get interviews).
