Where do I go (BB IB no return)

Was in a top group on the street, was constantly reassured that if I worked hard the offer was there, then my group had like a 60% rate.

Genuinely not sure where I go from here considering every other bank also had abysmal return rates and isn't hiring new grads. Yeah there's a career path outside of IB but I worked at the same group for 2 summers, putting in 100 hr weeks busting my ass and now there's nothing to show for it.

What do I do? Where do I apply? Thought I'd get to enjoy my senior year of college but nope, stuck looking for a job again.
