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!

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.
This post reeks of entitlement lol. I deserve a PE spot just because I work at an "elite" boutique! Fucking hate bankers lol. Grow the fuck up
Never said I deserve a PE spot. It’s been something that I have been aiming for and hasn’t been working out as much as I would like. That is why I am asking what are my options if I don’t get anything. I appreciate the lack of reading comprehension.
Stay in banking or leave banking. Not complicated chief.
Also I love that you deserve a MF too because of the firm you work at. Unreal.
what your gpa/sat?
Wishing you the best of luck. Just be sure to clear your safari history when you google if you are eligible to retake the SAT
