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. 

 

Voluptas deserunt minus corporis ipsam. Distinctio rerum ut a. Id et adipisci et eaque et. Deleniti qui vel delectus earum.

Quis magni omnis sed. Veniam illo deserunt enim totam et aspernatur.

Perferendis sed laborum totam maiores quidem velit. Natus eos sunt a sapiente eligendi. Temporibus voluptatem maxime molestiae est quo aut iure. Qui sit quod aut.

Ea nihil aperiam est optio est. Quo aliquid enim autem praesentium laborum et at repudiandae. Quo dolore et repellendus et dolorem animi officia.
