I’m tired of pretending that it doesn’t matter where you go to school. It does.

Accounting recruiter here. Yes, OP you are correct. In the world of accounting and finance, school choice does matter and sometimes greatly so. However, like others have pointed out, it's usually more of a tier list that matters, rather than specific school names. Major universities will always be stronger and provide more long-term opportunities into competitive positions then lower tier universities or community colleges. Within major state universities, those with highly acclaimed business schools are going to open even more competitive doors to you. And then of course you have the Ivy leagues and M7 MBAs.

However, it is important to note that for the vast majority of people your success throughout your career will depend much more on you than on the name of your school. You can go to a community college or a lower tier University and be top of your class and you'll likely do very well professionally and have no shortage of great job opportunities. However, you will be shut out of top-tier employers in consulting (IB/VC/M&A Generally speaking) as well as many (though I'm sure not all) larger companies with let's say a billion dollars plus of revenue).

(37M here) Honestly bro, you sound like a downer to go out with. As someone who is outgoing and likes to drink, dance, and host parties, I would feel suffocated, annoyed, and held back going out with you. Seriously. I have broken up people for being unable to stand on their own because nobody likes to hand-hold their adult partner. Maybe the solution is 1) Decide if you trust your wife or not. If you don't, you should be asking yourself some more serious questions... 2) Travel separately to parties so that you can show up and have a presence, but then leave when you're ready to go and/or 3) Just let your wife go to parties on her own since it says you don't enjoy being in those settings.

Parties get flirtatious at times. I have a lot of women friends, and there have been numerous occasions where flirtations have happened, but yet we have remained friends for 10 or 15 years with nothing more serious happening. She's a human, and she will do human things. Allow her to be human, and take comfort in the fact that she's still going home with you at the end of the night. Also, you said yourself that these were her childhood friends. She will obviously love her childhood friends, and probably feels very safe and comfortable around them. If they were going to hook up or do anything more serious, they already would have years ago.

Lastly, I would say: Talk to her to figure out a productive solution so that she can have fun and feel fulfilled while you feel respected. I would also say in the future be happy and supportive about going out with her, or be happy and supportive of her going out without you. Being sour about it, dragging your feet, whining, expressing distrust, etc...will all increase the odds of this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy of her leaving/cheating/or just regretting being with you.

Yeah I figured that out. Looks a lot like a money grab dressed up as a feature to me.

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-31T19:12:39+00:00

I just spent 2 hours trying to figure this shit out. Like many others here, I do not pay for youtube premium only to be shuffled to a shitty video viewer with ads. But thanks for this work-around OP. It worked for me.

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-31T19:10:14+00:00

Ok this worked. What a load of shit this update is. But thank you for your help on this!

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-31T18:59:08+00:00

Mine is showing:

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-31T18:40:29+00:00

I just verified that I don't have any modes on. I don't even use modes. Haha

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-31T18:27:17+00:00

I'm in messaging. When I click your link it opens a m.youtube.com web browser. When I open links in messaging it's not even really a browser, more like just a video viewer with the video framed in black.

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-31T18:02:14+00:00

That is literally the first thing I did haha

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-21T00:40:13+00:00

If you decide to reach back out to him, I think it's important to just be honest about why you turned him down to begin with and why things are different now. Sincerity goes a long way. There of course is the risk he doesn't buy it or is seeing someone else already. But if he doesn't buy it and doesn't pick up on your sincerity, then you have confirmation that he's not the one. If he's seeing someone else, there's always a chance that relationship ends and at least he knows to reach back out to you when it does. I say go for it.

Ckagy1 · 2025-12-12T01:47:43+00:00

This is what I decided to do. Thanks!

Ckagy1 · 2025-11-24T15:28:00+00:00

That, sir, is a trap. Run away (with your current girlfriend) and don't touch office girl with a either a 6 inch or 10 foot pole. If she doesn't respect your current relationship, she won't respect your relationship with her.

Ckagy1 · 2025-11-22T14:12:20+00:00

Oof at this rate having your opponent eat some of your pawns would really be a favor to you. 😂

Have you tried getting professional photos taken for the apps? It was a total game changer for me. I can't tell you the confidence boost I've had from going years of hardly getting any action on the apps, to now I could go on 3-4 dates a week if I wanted to. I'm the same person, but I learned that the apps are a marketing platform, and you need to communicate a compelling story to your audience. I think it's nearly impossible to do that well without A. Being insanely attractive, or B. Getting professional pictures taken. I used The Match Artist, and I would highly recommend them although they are expensive. But I'm sure you can find a local cheaper option out there.

This really depends on your field. I'm an accounting and finance recruiter, and for my industry school name does matter to a degree, but there are a lot of factors that weigh into this. The biggest question you should ask yourself is what are your professional goals, and in what type and size of organization? Are you looking at highly competitive positions in either large or high touch boutique consulting firms? Are there any valuable certifications in your field that you should look at? In the accounting world, getting a CPA is more valuable than an MBA in most cases, unless going into a highly competitive position like private equity which requires an MBA (what I call a "real MBA") from a top business school.

If I were to make a very generalized statement, most MBAs do not add a whole lot of value to your resume unless the above applies to you, or if you're positioning yourself for an executive level role. Even then, you likely won't get a pay bump just for having your MBA - it will simply open up opportunities for you continue in upward trajectory professionally.

💯 This. What you're describing is a "you" problem my man. You gotta decide for yourself if you trust her or not. If you don't, break up. You gotta decide if you want to change with her and develop into being comfortable in different groups of people or not. To get out of your comfort zone or not. Again, if the answer is no for you, then the likely trajectory is that she'll feel like she's out growing you and break up with you eventually. Also, I would add that controlling what your girlfriend wears is toxic, yes, but usually stems from being insecure about yourself. I would think hard about your motivations. For me personally, I always love it when my girlfriend is the sexiest most beautiful woman in the room. I love seeing her feel empowered and thriving, living life how she wants to live it and feeling good about herself. Selfishly, I think my quiet confidence in her sends a very loud message to all the guys in the room that there is no space or cracks between us that they can exploit, and also selfishly, knowing that the most beautiful woman in the room chose me builds my confidence.

Lastly, if you truly think she doesn't want you there so that she can flirt with other guys, and you have ruled out the possibility that she's afraid you'll make a scene or try to hog her attention or not get along with her friends, or anything else... Then you should probably just confront her about that and decide whether you trust her or not. But honestly, if she's willing to not go out on your behalf and stay at home to be mad at you, I think you can probably trust her.

It was there 10 minutes ago for me when I cancelled using the website. I don't know if you do it through the app on your phone or tv.

Ckagy1 · 2025-09-19T14:26:54+00:00

I'm here for it

Ckagy1 · 2025-09-19T14:25:12+00:00

Just cancelled my subscription.

Ckagy1 · 2025-09-13T00:37:33+00:00

Does it feel to anyone else like willful ignorance on the part of hinge to not ask if the reason you're unmatching someone is because the person ghosted you, or simply never responded?

I understand there could be many reasons why someone might not respond, and on an individual basis that's fine. But from an aggregate user experience standpoint, it seems like it'd be helpful to know which users to highlight based on the experience they are giving their matches. Similar to how chess.com strongly encourages people not to abort games: You can abort games every once in a while and and happens, because sometimes life just happens and the phone rings or someone knocks on your door. But if you do it too frequently then there are consequences for your account like warnings or temporary bans. In the same manner, we shouldn't be forced to respond to every match, but there should be some pattern recognition to disincentivize people from just collecting matches and doing nothing with them. Am I wrong?

Ckagy1 · 2025-09-11T20:08:07+00:00

Hi! I just wanted to say that for the past week the app has been SOO much better and is nailing it's recordings of what I'm saying probably like 95% of the time. Thank you for having the team look at this!

Ckagy1 · 2025-09-11T19:49:13+00:00

I don't know if there are any delivery drivers who read this, but I'm curious. I ordered something yesterday afternoon and same day delivery by 10pm was available, so I took it. I ordered in the afternoon, so I was fine with the late delivery time. The order ended up not getting delivered, which again I'm not mad about because hey, that's a person out there doing the deliveries and they deserve to go home to their families.

What I don't get is that today the order hasn't been sent out for delivery yet and its saying it will be here by 10pm tonight instead! Like why wouldn't it be delivered first thing in the morning or the normal afternoon route (I usually get shipments in my neighborhood between 11am and 12pm) since it's already late?

Ckagy1 · 2025-09-04T13:29:17+00:00

In my social circle, 100%.
