Can't get interviews for entry level jobs, only ones I'm underqualified for.

It makes no sense to me. I've completely fallen flat with full-time recruiting, and now I'm graduating with no job and basically no plan. I've had two offers rescinded due to market conditions, and been ghosted hundreds of times. I rarely get interviews, especially for entry-level roles, even with serious networking. Surprisingly, I've had much better success with buy-side firms - except every time I get rejected and told to reach out again after I get more experience (they don't have the capacity to train me).

I've spent countless hours studying technicals, networking, and completing case studies to no avail. The stress and workload have had an extremely negative impact on my grades and mental health, especially as a non-stem major with a part-time job.

I've expanded my horizons, applying to roles in NYC, Chicago, SF and LA. I've applied to roles in IB, PE, VC, GE, HF, Strategy, Finance, Consulting, AM, and more. I've exhausted my connections and done everything I can.


Now what? Feeling completely hopeless.
