Not sure if I like IB due to terrible SA 2022 recruiting szn, what to do?
Currently a diverse junior at top target with 3.9+ GPA in finance major trying for IB. Recruiting is almost over and I made it to 4 BB SDs and 1 boutique SD and only landed the boutique (not an EB). Obviously I'm grateful for the offer especially since its strong in a vertical I love (TMT) and the people are great but I really wanted a place with higher brand recognition and it sucks to see a lot of friends end up at BBs which was my end goal.
I figured what's holding me back is my weakness in techs but recruiting for 5 months has been SO emotionally/mentally draining. Studying techs is also so boring so I'm not sure if IB is right for me anymore. Also tried for HFs like P72 and DE Shaw but got cut after 2nd round. Long term, I have no career goals but I think I want to do TMT investing or corp dev at a reputable firm but how do I get there?
I know I have potential but I feel pretty aimless after not getting the firms I wanted. Many mentors have told me to continue recruiting for prestige in other fields (AM, consulting) since I'm a target kid but I'm so exhausted already and don't want to prep anymore especially since school is starting soon. Given my career goals, should I just be happy with the boutique and recruit for BB FT senior year or should I keep on pushing for better pedigreed places since I feel unsatisfied? Thanks for any advice, feeling super lost.
