Final-Year with no offers
Hi, I am a final-year graduating this July, unable to secure any full-time IB Analyst or Off-Cycle positions. Last summer, I interned as an Investment Banking summer analyst at a respectable Investment Bank, but didn't secure a return offer. When it came to recruiting this year, I applied mainly for full-time roles, not realising I could still apply for summer internships despite being in my final year. Since I had no luck on the full-time side of things, I tried my hat at Off-Cycle recruiting, but was limited from applying to several due to applying for a full-time role previously in the same cycle. Of the off-cycle internship interviews I have had, I thought they had gone well, but I still either haven't heard back from them or been rejected. Now, I feel incredibly lost and don't really know what to do or how to go about it. What is my next best option? I genuinely feel so confused as I know I have performed in these interviews answering my technicals correctly and doing extensive research on the firm. Now with the recruiting season starting up again in the next few months, do I mainly prioritise full-time opportunities or off-cycle? I don't often hear success stories from full-time applications so any insight into that would be amazing.
