May be my post sounded like from a recruiting agency, but I am not. On the contrary, I hate recruiting agencies, they provide little value and take too much money from the clients for a resume. I got 1 response and will be talking to him tomorrow. Thanks...

Hello All, I am a Quant/IT/algo person. I am looking to join a prop trading firm in Chicago, and there are lots of them, but will some of you fellow traders be so kind as to give me a list of the Tier 1 firms in Chicago. I do have a few names, but I was hoping to get a complete list...

Great, just great. So, if 100K does not buy a week's grocery, do you really think these hedge funds would be standing and brokers going about their business.

Ask an American economist to explain QE and you will see a bunch of equations and Mathematics. Great explanation of QE.

Good quality of life, and natural life style growing up always helps, one cannot fight the genetics, but good life style can help you in many many ways. I wonder who is going to pay all these doctors and lawyers and nurses and insurers who are a part of the monstrous health care system, when...

what we need is a 50-75% haircut in $. All problems will be gone shortly.

We know that, but should he not wait until after 2012.

No, it will not. Uncle will not let that happen. Uncle Benny that is.

The left is going to have to pay the taxes for the fat retirement of the Unions, and now, it will be real fun to watch. The left has a very good intention: That we all have infinite money and that we all live happily and collect fat pay checks without doing any real work, too bad, in real...

This is an unwise discussion. Do you guys realize that the US is the largest producer of food. US also has more than plenty of energy and the only reason we need all that foreign oil is because people drive around in big cars and people take planes to screw around at 33K feet. So, we have the...

My favorite topic. I do not drink carbonated drinks or any think with fructose in it, I think they need to be banned. when I am at a fast food or a restaurant. they want to shove that $3 soda or shitty chips to you and make me feel cheap, now with this recession thingy, I do not get that...

Who needs books anymore, unless you are looking for hard science books. It is all on the web now. There are some people who are too poor to afford the internet, I disagree, as anyone who can afford to eat, can afford a $200 used laptop and $25 for Broadband. The last I heard is that...

The teachers have bad incentives. The school presidents are corrupt and are in bed with the local politicians and city officials. The private schools teachers are much much much much better and paid much less than the public school teachers. The public school teachers are fat, stupid, and...

I graduated with a masters degree in electrical engineering in 1996 and boy were we ridiculed by my American friends as Geeks, while they were getting degrees in stuff that gave me headache, that someone would spend money to get a degree in those field. Then most of them got great jobs, but now...

The services are so darn expensive that anyone can afford anything they want. It takes $500 to buy paint for the house, yet $3K for the labor. I hate eating out for I am expected to put in an extra 25% for the wait staff and 8% for the taxes. we could really use some deflation.

why do they need to work in Greece, just chil in the sun and catch the Mediterranean fish.

well said, but there is a flaw. if government was not borrowing, the private money could not lend to government, and so, they will lend to other private entrepreneurs, etc, which would have been better than lending it to the government, since private enterprises are more efficient. If no one...

I think one can rent for about 700 in nice places like Lincoln Park, a studio or something, just 15 mins from the loop.

what we see in Kaaliforni is moral bankruptcy of the general population. They divert the attention to illegal aliens, who for most part are working at $8 an hour, while these civil servants or masters really are cleaning up big time.

Illegal Aliens do not cost money as your describe, how about 100 of 1000s of businesses that would otherwise be bankrupt if not for these illegal aliens.
