Schwab/TD/thinkorswim are all the same thing. They banned buying of AMC GME etc. would recommend you don’t use them

You pay higher fees though.

Fidelity

Merrill

Fidelity or vanguard- fidelity has better retirement date and expected return guidance, but vanguard’s robo advisor is dirt cheap (0.15%)

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
