Although the main graduate program intake window for the year is over, have you tried looking through the banks' own job portals for possible openings? I recall seeing a few in April. You may also want to consider FIs other than banks, such as stockbrokers or insurance firms, etc.

I believe expecting ~3k is reasonable and you should be able to find a suitable opening sooner or later. Good luck!
