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.
