Hi, Is Trading & Investing in stocks banned for software engineers in JP Morgan? What about Mutual Funds, are they restricted/monitored ? Can we trade in Futures & Options ? If not equity stocks, can we trade in commodity exchange? Or maybe Forex exchange? Or Cryptos? Just want to know the boundaries of trading & investment and work accordingly! What are your experiences?

If she’s not some weird predatory loan consolidation type, lol, my guess is that this is coming from a place of jealousy about your salary where she wants to make herself feel better by judging your debt load or financial decisions. Tell her to knock it off.
Just make up an artificially low loan balance to drive her further insane.
Very odd lol just don’t answer

Use your words:
"Sara, I prefer not to discuss specifics of my financials."
"Sara, I'd prefer not to talk about details."
"Sara, I'm not sure why you're so fixated on this. Please drop it. It's not your business."
"Sara, this questioning is intrusive and makes me uncomfortable. Please stop."

Doesn’t matter whether the person is non-law. This is a weird and quite frankly I would not call this person a friend.
None of my friends and I (I have a range of friends who make as low as $80K to as high as $450K) talk about finances unless it’s the couple friends that I talk about investments with.

I discuss finances freely with my friends. If you’re more reserved, then just do not answer. If you feel weird sharing because you do not trust her, then she is not a “friend.”
Enthusiast
Then just don’t answer, I guess?
You can say “enough to make me glad I’m in biglaw and making over 200k”

Tell her if she wants to know to law school and find out directly

Like Delilah pressing Samson...weird.
Try this. Tell her that your student debt is insignificant. Then drop your voice an octave and say, "But I owe a tremendous debt to ... other entities. They hunger, and I must prepare their repast."

She is nuts. Hard pass on that friendship.
Enthusiast
Is this just a friend or a friend friend (gf, romantic sort) That would be better to know first to guage why she’d want to know.
Enthusiast
I see, then yeah—it’s none of her business.
Mentor
Tell her your enemies prevent you from sharing this information, but if she really cares she will venmo you $5k for protection against these enemies.
I don’t see why you even care so much, why do people get so insecure about student loan balances? Who cares
What’s the big secret?
I don’t see it being a big issue. That’s just me.
Tell her starts with an 4. $4,000 😎
Pretty embarrassing to have a friend like this. You can do better
I hate when my non-law friends try to justify the salary gap by saying “well, you have a lot of student loan debt.”
I want to be petty and call out that I make 4x more than them, and the only way the gap would be justified is if my student loan debt were in the millions.
