What are my options?

Hello Fellow Monkeys,

So, as a rising senior SA unfortunately I did not get a return offer in my group. I was in credit research at a top BB and there were a limited number of spots and although I worked my ass off I didn't make it. Shit happens but, me working on the trading floor realized by skills are best used in a sales type role.

My background is semi target 3.4 at a liberal arts with the BB summer SA and worked for big insurance company the summer before.

Just curious, what are my options for full time recruiting? Should I focus on lower tier banks and when is full time recruiting for S&T?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.
