What to do if I don’t land anything

Hi all,

It’s been a very competitive recruiting cycle and unfortunately I’ve not landed an offer yet within IB/PE/GE. I have a couple places I’m waiting on to see if I get an offer/SD invite, but I wanna start prepping for the worst and find other options to prep for 2023 SA. I know MBB are getting ready to open within a month or so and that MM PE places will begin too, but what are the other options worst case scenario I land nothing? For the sake of argument, say I go to a super target.
(I know that there is always FT recruiting, lateraling from something smaller into IB, MBA etc, but I want to know what I can do 2023 that will be a good internship experience in case I miss the boat and don’t get anything during this cycle and need to do FT recruiting)
