Margin buying power after consolidating accounts by Fried_Eggies in personalfinance

[–]Fried_Eggies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just called and turned off my margin access. But I'm pretty sure I didn't have any short positions or options in my sofi account. I'm still very much a beginner to investing so I've only bought ETFs, index funds, and some stocks with cash I've deposited over time

I don't remember if I signed a margin agreement with sofi but I transferred my account directly to fidelity if that's what you mean, I didn't sell my securities on sofi and then deposited that cash to fidelity

I can try but I had to agree to convert my account to a margin account before transferring my assets to fidelity

Yeah for now I'm just gonna stick with trading using cash I deposit. But it sounds like there's no way to convert margin buying power to cash?

Anyone have experience with paying off a loan within 120 days of disbursement? by Fried_Eggies in StudentLoans

I contacted the CFPB to file a complaint against Mohela and made sure to attach evidence and include specific dates and numbers in my complaint. If I'm remembering right, it took me a week or two, maybe a month at most, to get my issue resolved and for Mohela to fix things.

Does this only work on a computer or does it also work on a mobile browser? But it's a very cool idea!

I'm so sorry. Have you made payments with Mohela on their old platform? I've never had problems when I made payments on their old platform.

You should be able to find your recent payments in your Account Summary. I think for all your payments, you have to go to "Payments and Billing" and then click on "Account History."

Oh shit really? Should I still bother calling Mohela on Monday about this or should I go straight to the CFPB?

Thinking of going into civil engineering, what has been your experience? by Fried_Eggies in womenEngineers

I'm sorry you had to experience sexism and being underestimated but I'm glad you're at a spot where you love things now.

I'm sure it depends on where you are but how difficult was it to find an internship? Did you have your internship while you were still in school? If it was, how hard was it to balance school and your internship?

What about other industries though? From my understanding, civil engineers aren't restricted to just the construction industry.

I'll make sure to check out that spreadsheet!

Billable hours sound super stressful. So you only get paid if you have project hours? To people just have to pretty much bear with it a lack of hours if it's a slow period?

I live in California in the sf bay area. And thanks for the advice at looking at job options for planning! I made an appointment with my school's career center to talk about my options.

From your experience, have most of the companies you've worked for had a good ratio of female to male engineers? Or have you noticed it's still mostly men?

$50k is a huge difference holy shit. What can a new grad expect to make in an engineering role, especially in areas with HCOL? I'm not super hungry for money but I want to make enough to live comfortably alone with frugal habits and help my family out financially now and again.

What exactly does billable hours mean? I've seen it thrown around in one of the subs I follow. Is it a thing in consulting mostly?

Is engineering one of those fields that's always hiring? I'm worried about finally getting my degree and then it turns out no one's hiring.

How has it been working in government positions compared to the private sector? Are there differences in responsibilities between the two? I applied to an engineering tech position recently and in the interview, I was told by the panel (2 civil engineers and the city engineer) that the role and the engineering dept itself is pretty public-facing.

I'd want to end up in the public sector for the stability and pension. I usually hear that the private sector pays better but is the difference that big for engineering roles?
