What if I don’t get an offer for off-cycle?

Currently a first year at a "EB". I definitely do not want to do this for more than two years so I have been prepping since before I started the role. I struck out after two interviews during on-cycle in August and I haven't had much traction since then other than a few coffee chats.What are my options if I don't get anything from this off-cycle that will probably happen this month? I have been aiming for MFs in NYC because I don't see why I wouldn't be able to land something like that with the firm I'm at but I do see my low GPA and SAT score playing a role. Appreciate any advice!

 

This post indicates a lack of self-awareness.

You "don't see why" an MF wouldn't be possible just because you work at an EB?

The MF seats left could be filled 50 times over with the EB analysts still looking for gigs.

 

I’m not saying that I feel entitled to a MF. More so, I’m not shooting for the stars while coming a place that does not place well for MFs. I do understand that MFs have limited seats but I haven’t gotten traction either for UMMs. Again, I understand that my SATs and GPA can play a huge role so that’s why I am asking what happens if I don’t get anything for this off cycle.
