Yeah, with travel restrictions I don't think the old visa run is what it used to be. I wouldn't come over now on a tourist visa in hopes of work. I'd wait until you get a job and wait for your E2. I see you posting a lot so you're obviously eager. Have you sent your info to ScottJ? He's always posting jobs that are about right for someone who just wants to get a foot in the door and start collecting a paycheque. Send your stuff to Korvia. If they think you have potential they'll go to bat for you. If they don't, they'll just refer you to the junk bond trader of ESL jobs, ScottJ.
Good luck.
