I cold emailed about 20 firms, and a couple about say 5 turned into interviews. Problem is that some are virtually unknown whilst some of the better known ones are yet to reply.

Morgen, Evan, & Co.
Does anyone have any information about this firm? It seems that they have done well in Asia, but what about their NY office? On their website they list tombstones, but without deal size
So you're sayin' there's a chance!
