What should I do?

Didn’t get a return and have been interviewing since August, few superdays but no offers in hand, I’m scared of graduating with nothing lined up and going back home to my family instead of having a job. Worked my whole life to get into a super target, grinding my ass off to join clubs and get a really good buyside internship all for me to have nothing at the end.

I feel ya. I’m a sophomore at a target and I’m worrying about graduating without something lined up 💀 It’s also pretty hard given the current economy but I know you’ll be fine. I don’t think I have lots of helpful advice but just wanna lend u support and tell u that a ton of other people (very smart, even smarter than me) are worried about the same situation

 

Managed to jump from consulting to IB FT for next summer. Firm is decent with top top seniors, but narrow industry focus. Might need to make a stop somewhere else for UMM and above, but I’ll take what I can get considering my circumstances
