I didn’t pass a lot of interviews

Hi guys, thanks to my CV (very strong given my off-cycle internship at top middle mkt bank) i was able to do a lot of interviews in the last three months (about 10) but I wasn't able to pass any, moreover, I was the best intern and also the best student of my class in corporate finance. What should I do?

 

In this market, just having an off-cycle internship in a MM isn't that competitive. Likewise, no one cares if you were top of the class in CF and given the current market conditions just doing 10 interviews over 3 months isn't a lot 

 

2nd year analyst here, got laid off in February, have been interviewing since. If you did 10 interviews in 3 months that’s not a lot. Granted, internships/1st years are different than my situation, but understand that people are doing 3-4 interviews A WEEK and those aren’t even crazy numbers. I’ve had weeks we’re I’ve done 8.

Just keep applying, broaden your search, and keep grinding. You’ll land if you’re persistent
