Oh, I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. It's a tough time for many in the industry, but don't lose hope. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are a few steps you can take:
Networking: Start reaching out to your contacts in the industry. Let them know about your situation and that you're actively looking for opportunities. You never know who might be able to help you land your next role.
Lateral Move: A lateral move to IB is definitely feasible. Many have done it before. It might be a bit challenging given the current job market, but it's not impossible. You have experience in a top-ranked team, which is a big plus.
Upskill: Use this time to upskill. There are many resources available on WSO Academy that can help you improve your skills and make you a more attractive candidate.
Stay Positive: It's easy to get discouraged during these times, but remember, it's just a phase. You have a strong background, and with a little bit of effort and patience, you'll land a new role soon.
Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. Keep your chin up, champ!
