are you getting interviews? if not your resume needs reviewed. If you are getting interviews and not closing, you'll want to re-assess your interviewing skills.

In general, be excited. Like you fucking love whatever it is this hiring manager is selling. like you can't wait to jump out of your seat to do whatever it is they do over there.

Having experience at a big bank helps. Hit up all your contacts, hit up all your contacts contacts. do a contract job if you need to. Go to a bank and work a few months on a contract role and now that you know their culture, etc you'll start to be able to speak like them .

if you're still having trouble, start getting certifications, CFA, PMP, Python, SQL.

Being able to network is nice, make some friends in the industry, call up friends of friends if you have to. Show up at networking events, schmooze, talk to people.

MBA isn't really worth it in my experience working at several major banks with 15 years into financial services. Unless you can get an MBA from a big name school like Cornell or MIT it won't help all that much. Sure if there are two identical candidates, maybe but normally we go for the best match and the best experience.

Gotta hustle, find another job and jump to make that extra 30k and do it again to make another 30k and on and on.
