Hi everyone,
I am a junior from a semi target where around 10 bulge bracket/elite boutiques recruit on our campus. I bombed the only two interviews I've got and I have no other interview coming up. My career office has already been telling me there are few opportunities left and I should either consider other industries or wait till winter for non-elite boutique recruitment. However, I don't want to give up just like that. Is there still chance to get into a more decent MM/boutique?
I believe I have a strong background - I have done four IB/PE internships in the past and am also a major leader in my sorority. However, I do have mediocre 3.5 GPA as an Econ major and made some serious mistakes during networking, like starting late, asking questions like checking boxes and didn't directly ask for referrals. I also didn't fully prepare for my technicals, which is why I bombed my interviews. If I improve my networking/interview skills, is there still chance to end up at a decent place for SA? What are some good places for me to look at now? How should I best position myself for a better FT offer?
