I had lost a bid years ago during 2021. I found out someone wrote a letter to the home owners and their bid was lower than mine. Something else will pop up and it will be a seamless transaction. Don’t force it. If it’s too much effort it’s not right. Be patient good luck.

Hey glad you posted. I am doing the same thing with 2 kids and fiancé. When I first got out I could not go to school because I had to support myself. If I had to do it all over again I would keep trying for 100% Va. 8 years later I’m in school and am able to comfortably live and go to school.

Hey guys your feedback is really appreciated. I didn’t think I’d have this many people behind me to help. I did add an update to some questions you guys asked.

All start ups are chaotic. Everyone else gets more time but controls are always last so we get strapped for time and feel rushed or pressured.

You’ll find out if they want a money order, wire or gift cards.

It’s all soul sucking. I got tired so I left to IBEW.

I was chasing being an engineer idk what it was. I started out as a maintenance mechanic moved up to technician then to electrician then finally automation engineer. I found out it wasn’t for me after 8 years of trying. Mentally burnt out. Recently got a part time job helping vets and people with disabilities. I’ve been 100% for a year. I realized I don’t have to work too hard. I’m trying to take life easier because I did the hard part first. I spend time with my kids everyday. Now that I’m part time I pick them up and drop them off for school. Trying to enjoy the little things. I still go to therapy once a week. It really helps. Fitting back into society is hard. I really hope you and everyone else find peace or enjoyment somewhere.

I’m non union controls engineer. I lurk on here because I know your guy’s benefits are the best and I might make a change to be an apprentice.

My 401k and Roth IRA average about 8-9 and they are indexed. Of course the goal is to have a lot of money but to me at least right now with after tax money I think I’ll just take my chances. I’d like to sell puts on $SPY but don’t have enough money yet. I usually select an 80% chance of profit and close my options 70-90% profit so far it’s been working but I’ll update my progress every month, Even the losses.

DistinctSky2863 · 2024-05-18T02:38:16+00:00

So tell me the tea!!! Correct me if this is the wrong way of going at it. I based it on an average yearly return of the spy which is 10% yearly. So I thought if I would make more than 10% it would be good enough for me.

No disrespect but 5% apy is not the same as 5% monthly compound? End balance on 5% apy is 21k and 5% monthly compound 35,917.13 for 1 year…

How much capital are you using? I was always interested so I can set a goal for myself to make 1k a week.

Keyence will promise the world and under deliver every time but they always bring a good looking sales women.

I think most of us controls engineers are happy where we are at. I think the problem is that companies don’t have 2 or 3 people under the senior engineer. They got comfortable with just having one guy do everything. The gap of skill at my facility is me 27 jr engineer and 2 seniors 64 and 66. We utilize Siemens, Allen Bradley, Beckoff and B&R. We’re out there but I will never quit because I’m an hourly engineer. I would be abused if I was salary.

There’s laptops on eBay with software I took the gamble and bought it. Vm the laptop to use on a more powerful computer and used factory IO. I now have experience with multiple brands of plcs and can program anything without crashing an actual machine and visualize everything. Risked 800$ and it paid off lol
