    Not a fan of trashing other firms. They have been trashed enough on here at times. But they charge like 10k, advertise like crazy, claim to have the best training, and have very few people make it.

  9. I applied to a few firms in the NYC area, sending a resume and cover letter. I've done this over the past few weeks, but haven't heard back yet. I am wondering what I should do next to maximize my chances of getting an interview.
