Need help full time or graduate school

Hey everyone, I’m currently at a university that’s in between a semi target and a non target about to start my senior year. I am a finance major with a 3.9 GPA and was unable to get any internship during my time here. I tried hard with the networking and made some solid connections but ultimately was not getting anywhere, just unable to get any interviews. I want advice on wether I have a chance at full time recruiting or should I start applying for graduate school and get a masters of finance. Thank you for any help and opinions.
