So exactly what options do people have when they bust? I've seen a bit too many of these GSorBust or MMorBust screennames on WSO to not ask (maybe all just same person w/ different names).
I am NOT in this situation but am curious about other avenues pursued and how people deal w/ this kind of "failure".

This title is too funny for an immature reader , giggity.
Personally, I am not ib or bust. I have planned several backups. Like re brokerage, research, big 4, corp fin analyst(non corp dev) and many others
I feel like it is similar to applying to colleges, you pick dream jobs, jobs you know you will prob get, and then fallback jobs
