UCLA, 2 IB & 2 PE internships

Hey guys, I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself.

I recently finished as an undergrad at UCLA. I've interned at 2 boutique IBs and 2 PE firms. Wasn't successful in landing a full-time offer despite a number of interviews and I can only blame myself, didn't prepare nearly enough for technicals. Now I'm back home spending a majority of my time preparing for technicals, doing my best to network and hopefully land a job by summer. I plan on coming on this site often. Feel free to give me any input or advice that relates to my situation. I'd be happy to chat and answer any questions as well.
