    Any Prop Firms in NYC That Can Do H1 Visas?

    The vast, vast majority of h1bs are IT workers. Nothing else even comes close. I have met some bright h1bs, but I have also met many who are very much below average. They are used because the employer has immense power over them. They are indentured servents. I have never met an h1b who...

    Any Prop Firms in NYC That Can Do H1 Visas?

    There shouldnt be any. H1b law requires that the visa applicant be working in a field whee there is a shortage, and the firm must demonstrate that applicants cannot be found at the prevailing wage. It not just for foriegners "who think it would be cool to come here"

    I need career advice. Degree in Computer Enginerring?

    I could not disagree more. I worked in IT for a number of years, and I enjoyed what I did, and was also very good at it. In the 90s, I also was compensated very well for what I did, partly because I was well placed, and in IT BEFORE the boom. The H1b situation, as I mentioned in a...

    Thats what really bugs me about his advertising. Someone who takes major risk for a one time event to get bragging rights probably is not the best influence on learning traders, and those contest are what I usually see about him.

    Ameritrade(Datek) Direct

    The biggest favor Ameritrade ever did for me was to raise prices in october. Going from 8 to whatever it is now (it was a big jump) forced me to look elsewhere. IB has WAY better commissions, and seems to have better fills, IMO.
