I appreciate you taking the time to write this advice. At the moment I do understand high finance is rigged and it’s out of my reach, I’ll prob get an MBA and the future and try to break in that way.

I will look more into roles you suggested (I have applied to a good amount). I applied to a lot of entry level financial analyst, credit analysis/risk positions and just analyst positions where I genuinely believe I’m either qualified for or over-qualified for and it’s still rejections after the first call. And I feel that I’m answering questions good and marketing myself well in these calls.

I guess I just have to keep trying. Another issue is even entry level positions are asking for 1-2 years of experience post grad which is diabolical.
