Recent Grad Looking For Equity Trader Position

Hi, 

I recently graduated out of Brandeis in May 2025. I had a little bit of timeline conflict so I didn’t make it to a firm that I had a program with. I have tried Trillium and is still waiting for response; tried to reach out to SMB but no one replied; asked about T3 but they required capital contribution which I cannot make. I am clean on the record and I would love to hear any advice on what/how I should look out for equity trader opportunities.

Thanks to anyone giving constructive advice.
