Now that summer is coming to a close and 2022 is done for a lot of banks, I still don't have an offer. Do I get another regional internship for junior year and try and do full time recruiting, or should I aim for a better internship in consulting, RE as recruiting doesn't have as much of a cycle as IB.
What did people who didn't get a Junior year internship do?

I'm also in a similar position. This is what I plan to do.
Step 1: Find a bridge.
Step 2: Stand on top of it.
Step 3: Jump into the heavens
if banking means a lot to you you can lateral to a top firm from like an eh firm so you're really only delaying whatever you were hoping for by a year. It's like not the end of the world at all it's just a year lol. Also like if you have tenacity, FT recruiting is viable too. Grab a PE (not like a top firm, just take the best of you can get, there's a lot of solid family offices that recruit like 2 months before Summer) internship for jr Summer and buckle down and then FT recruit. A lot of PE Megafunds who recruit for FT out of college like kids who do PE jr summer and of course so do good IBs.
I ended up getting a BB offer since then and accepted it haha. Funny to look back at the comments I made a couple months ago
I took an extra semester so that I could recruit for the next cycle. Slogged real hard to get an internship for the cycle I struck out with for recruiting. Leveraged that internship and my experience with the previous cycle to get the role I wanted at a BB. Risky path but worth considering...
This is what I was planning on doing if I didn’t get an internship in my cycle. Honestly very underrated option.
