FT recruiting - lost senior

Hi all,

I'm feeling nervous as hell about FT recruiting. I go to a non-target and didn't get a return offer from the firm I interned at this summer (1/9 did for my group). My parents are on my ass now and want me to take whatever I can get. I want to do ER and I have the skills to pass the interviews but I'm feeling lost. I haven't gotten any interviews yet for IB or ER outside of a Hirevue that I recently got. My long-term goal has always been to work in a multi-manager hedge fund but I can barely sleep thinking about what happens if I don't get anything for FT and have to do a corp finance job or something that would make it difficult to lateral from.
