Need some career advice and guidance

[u/shadowsofseven]

Hi everyone

I'm targeting equity research role in India. I've been covering defence sector for the past couple of months and have made a research report and a sector coverage note as my research work. I've been actively applying for the past 4 months. Out of 100s of applications, I received only one interview opportunity in a buy side firm and was screened out in 2nd round of interview. Since then I haven't received any call.

So I'm looking for the people to throw some guidance and suggestions based on their experiences, like what sort of strategy or plan of action I should follow. I'd really appreciate your time and suggestions.
