Applying in person at a wirehouse?

I have an account with Fidelity and when discussing my background with one of the employees she was a bit pushy about suggesting that I should apply.

I thought about it for a bit and decided I should consider it.

I am thinking of applying in person at local branches where they all have posted openings locally. I'm looking at:

Charles Schwab TD Ameritrade Raymond James UBS

All positions would support me in getting my Series 7 & 63

About me: My undergrad - International Finance (top 50) Masters- Financial Engineering (fulbright scholar) Worked in PE for 1 year abroad at a boutique in Manila Worked at a start-up for 1 year in Hong Kong

Now back in the US (Currently in San Diego)

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
