Career Resources
There's just a ton of competition. You probably need to network more, everyone looks great on paper, meet with the MDs for coffee to show them how you're "outgoing and great at communicating ideas."
Network, Network & Network.

"Asian" youre from a place too close to the cold, cruel communist north these nice white people scared youll merc em if shit goes south
Grad school could be an option
How many jobs applied to, how many interviews?
When did you start applying - did you apply late?
What happened with the IB internship to hire you full time?
If your dad doesn't know anybody, you're screwed. If you have any heavyweight executive relatives in Chaebols that know big boys in the business world, sending your relatives a request to forward something might be ideal. This is assuming your relatvies in a chaebol are high up to the point where they know people that matter in American business.
The question is - is anyone in your family network a somebody in a chaebol.
Finance is sh!t tough for minorities to penetrate, actually forget minorities, for anybody that's really not a somebody. You realize how important networking is when you want to enter the finance industry in america haha.
Good luck, be strong. I was in your stage. Is your name ethic by the way ? Are you donggyu kim ? or are you Daniel Kim ? There is a heavy negative bias against ethnic names. You could even look freaking white - it wouldn't help. Anglo-Saxon names are trusted more.
Life would just be so easy if everybody that wanted to enter the finance industry had a Fortune 500 company CEO as a father or a relative that's Chairman of a F500 starts sobbing
Give me a break. The guy has a good background. Most of people that get into finance have backgrounds like he does.
Put your resume up on the resume forum and get some feedback on it.
Try to work with a recruiter or temp agency.
Also buy a mock interview (under Services at the top of the page) and get some feedback on your interviewing skills.
Keep your chin up, at least you are getting interviews.
I'd have to disagree here, I just got back from a summer in Houston, and move there full time in January. I can't even begin to tell you how many A&M and UT guys I met. One of my bosses actually went to UTD.
UT and A&M are both targets in Texas, you're way off base here man.
Outside of energy banking is what I think he meant.

Asians are not underrepresented in FO roles
Network harder. Send 10 LinkedIn messages each day. 4 phone calls per day minimum. You will have an offer in 2 weeks tops.
There is something off in your equation for the job search with those stats. I'm not sure what it is because it seems we are lacking information, but good luck.
Also, you can't consider MBA programs without work experience, but you could possibly seek out a good MSF program (like Princeton or MIT).
