Post Grad Career Advice
So I recently graduated from a T20, with solid internship experience. I feel as if I didn't apply myself as well as I could've in the early years of college, which led to me not really knowing what I really wanted to do until recently (working towards tech coverage, or tech pe, hoping to move towards climate tech vc down the road). I feel as if my options at this point (without a FT offer) are: 1) recruit for a non banking role, maybe corp dev or some type of consulting, or data analytics. What I want most of my career at this point is prestige, so I don't think this would necessarily be a step in the right direction. 2) try and get a fall banking internship at a boutique, recruit for FT25 roles while also networking during that internship. Also study for GMAT, if FT doesn't work out, apply to top Masters in Finance programs. At this point I would love advice from professionals. I'm worried to accept a job I don't want and be stuck with little to no mobility. I believe overall I failed to properly prove myself in college, and I see a masters program as another shot to do so.
* I also just wanted to make it clear that I'm not entirely set on what I want to do with my career. I think in my first role mainly what I'm looking for is technical skills (valuation, comps, industry research) and to be surrounded by incredibly smart, hardworking people who can push me. The latter is largely one of the reasons I haven't accepted certain roles, as I feel they would actually work retroactively and prevent me from learning as much as possible in my first job.
