Losing hope

Had a super day at generalist shop in Houston and didnt get it. Do I have to focus on energy if I want to break in? So frustrating because theres like 5 generalist shops in Houston, Ive recruited at most of them at this point, and they all seem to have dinged me for not being from Houston. I want to move there for some personal reasons. Superday was in person too like I flew all the way down on my dime, dodged work all morning, and still no offer. Dont know what to do. Feel like summer 25 recruiting is about wrapped up at this point. Any advice?
