entry level opportunities in AM or IB COMPLETELY done?

i am currently a senior and still trying to lock down a job that would help me take a step forward in Asset Management, equity research, or investment banking (i understand they range in relevancy, but are industries i am very interested in)

currently, i do have couple offers (one in corporate banking and another in retail banking)
i do not necessarily want to accept them, but at the same time do not want to forgo such opportunities if no companies are hiring or are pretty much done with recruitment. is there any advice as to how i should approach this situation? i have been in constant contact with different alumns or contacts that i have built over the couple years, but nothing has really progressed from them (spoke with many over the phone, but all they can do is forward my resume, but at the same time many of these companies are pretty much done with their necessary recruitment)

should i wait it out till after winter and hope more companies will possibly hire more in these respective industries? or just accept that i will have to somehow work in corporate banking and somehow make my way in these industries later on?

furthermore, any suggestions other than contacts, emailing individuals to hoping to land an interview at the very least?

sorry for all the questions, but anything would help!

thanks
