2018 grad from a NY State School currently unemployed and need guidance. I worked at a bulge bracket for 4 years, 2 in back/middle office then 2 in Sponsor Coverage in IB (no deals/no execution). Got an amazing exit to a 2.5 year rotation program at a credit fund where I ultimately landed in the private credit pod for 2 years, and spent 50% of my time on BD/internal and 50% on deals. Program ended in Feb and I'm no longer at the firm (long story) and recruiting is going pretty poorly. Almost everyone I interview with tells me I don't have enough experience to lateral into an Associate role and won't let me get to a case study, which I know can nail. Even banking recruiting has been tough and getting similar feedback as the buyside, which is even more frustrating. Besides changing my framing of the time I spent at the fund, I am really not sure what I can/am supposed to do. I'm contemplating giving up this finance bullshit and moving into something else, but I don't even know what that something else is. How long do I stay unemployed considering my age and experience. What do people from high finance transition into that A) makes money and B) provides clear, upward mobility and career growth?
