Kind of helpless, directionless and most importantly Jobless 😔🫠

Dear Veterans of Grapevine, show me the way....

I was a business analyst associate for 8-9 months in a startup which got shut down in 2022 due to lack of funding. It prompted me to go for MBA. I'm doing MBA from a good reputed college in Delhi and currently in the 2nd year. In the summer break I did some certifications courses from Coursera and Udemy in Analytics & PowerBI to further strengthen my resume.

In the past few months i have applied for every possible opening in the Big4 alongside some good companies for entry level jobs in Data/Business Analyst domain. Leave selection aside I'm not even getting shortlisted.

Is there something i am doing wrong or something i should try doing something else?

I tried referrals in EY and KPMG when they had some vacancies but left empty handed.
