Pick a starting point

Hi,

I'll be in my final year of uni and I was wondering what place would suit me best. I've talked with some professionals but their takes were quite different. I did my SA in structured credit/illiquid fund but wasn't given a FT (bad year). The work itself is not bad but it's not very market oriented. I am still interested in credit though and I was thinking what are the possibilities at this stage? It seems that many credit funds like fundamental people with LevFin exp but I am more interested in S&T than IB. Are credit desks still interesting for HF jumps or is it more geared oriented towards just market making and may pigeonhole me? I also find EM desks interesting but I don't know whether they're only for macro HF or whether it's transferrable across many strategies.

Your help would be much appreciated.

PS: For my background, I can understand some higher level maths but not enough to be a quant, I have some programming knowledge and some corporate finance notions.
