Visa holders: anyone has been successful at opening a brokerage account? I keep hearing you need to be a citizen or permanent resident. Not even a 529 for my children. Any success stories?

I had a Schwab account when I was a visa holder.

Ditto. And am still on H1B

Not sure on the 529 plan but pretty sure you can open a brokerage account

I have one and have had one since I was on the F1

No 529.

Heard that from multiple companies, including Vanguard. Haven't tried Schwab. Thanks!

I have one with fidelity

Hey you can open it with no problem. I have fidelity and vanguard

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week.

As I'm joining pwc kolkata on 17oct. Should I expect to get any sort of communication from the Kolkata office about joining/point of contact etc.

They put a status call at 10 in the morning and expect to work throughout the day till 9PM with all the calls at night

If someone logs off at 8ish also. It is considered as early off. One the worst work life balance ever in UK supporting organisation.

There is no concept of 9 hours work schedule. I want to name few people but doing it
