Quote from AMW:

I have recently left a job trading equity options at the cboe and I am trying to learn more about prop trading firms.
-How is the interview process?
-Examples of different deals offered.
-Capital contribution.
-Technology and assistance.
-Potential income(what a typical trader might make)

I do not know anyone who works at these type of firms, but the overall opinion I have heard is somewhat negative. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Look at Chicago Trading Company

Damn, CTC looks pretty nice. I'll have to walk down the street and check you guys out for myself.

Try some of these firms....

Just a comment...most of those firms are either retail, out of business, or both.

Yeah, I couldn't find a newer listing on NASAA's site but it certainly makes a statement as to longevity in the industry.
