Need advice, will I be good enough for IB?

Lately, I feel that I might not be good enough to go to IBs... I've connected with tons of people to get intern at an IB. Still no luck... did the same at VCs, no luck either.

For a bit of context, I am in Indonesia and the industry here is diff compared to the states. VCs here still hires fresh grads. Long story short, I have been hunting for internships for the past 2 months, I got interview in several VCs, but none in banking. However, nothing works...

I ended up taking up an intern in a freshly started asset management that still haven't got any employer branding (got referred by a banking asso which I knew through cold text, to her ex-boss).

Please lmk ur thoughts on my chance breaking to IB. What should I do??
