Had only one interview after non-target networking, and kind of shit the bed w/ Santander LA. Nothing else in the works, should I throw in the towel and look elsewhere? Or is there still hope. (Class of '27)

Keep networking, be open to lower MM firms. It’s tough out there, figure out what/where you messed up in your interview and work on it.
I should have edited my initial post- is recruiting for LMM much different than that of other banks or is it usually dependent on the bank? I’ve had coffees w/ some LMM ones but not sure what the process looks like apart from the main boutiques and bbs.
LMMs are the Wild West, especially the really small shops (10-20 employees). Pay is generally less and the experience varies tremendously from basically well run transactions albeit at smaller scale to parodies of a functioning bank. Recruitment is going to be ad hoc and networking with MDs/Partners is key. I’ve known folks who have gone down that route and have done well. There are simply far more LMM targets and that means more opportunities.
why the underperformance in interview?
lack of preparation?
Yeah pretty much
