Small to Mid Size Firms in NYC

I am a rising senior from a non target school, I have a GPA of 3.9 with a double major in finance and economics. I have internship experience at a hedge fund in NYC with a good rep, along with internship experience at two smaller firms where I'm from (SC). I also participate in my school's investment program along with other leadership activities. I want to work in a finance role in NYC, and I'm very well aware my chances at a bulge bracket firm are slim to none. What other smaller, less competitive firms or roles should I consider for an entry level role (ER, financial analyst, etc). Honestly terrified I will not get a job at all since the market is highly competitive.
