Bro you’re still in school. There are people scrambling to get FT even after graduating in this market. 
Stop the self pity and man the fuck up. Do what it takes. 

Sitting around saying I am losing hope when you’re being picky with the top .5% of the jobs that exist straight out of school.

Just last week I talked to two MDs (MS/JPM), one started with a 33k a year job graduating in 2008 from a target. Another started his career “counting shit” and joined IB at 32. Both made MD 10 years.

Men do what it takes.
