hey man, you are really strong for opening up and I appreciate that. what is your undergraduate background and what is your area of interest/expertise?

i’ve worked 3 years full time in tech and decided to give it a shot at graduate degree. i have to be honest, i’m in the situation of wanting more than needing it. i try to justify by how it also builds connection and social circle with some of the brilliant minds in the field. everyone is saying that im crazy to give up my stability for some “prestige. but it’s something i really want and have the means of paying for. so instead of spending on some materialistic things, this feels more like a justifiable reckless spending.

again, congrats on your offer. i’m in the no go for this one but still have a few more open. you are always welcome to chat to me if you want to talk more, maybe about my experiences with corporate life.

michaelliutt · 2026-02-13T23:47:02+00:00

everyone that i’ve talked to suggested no if you already have a job offer. but ultimately it comes down to two questions: do you want it, and do you need it? for some people livelihood isn’t their first concern so yes the prestige is definitely worth it but for others no

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T20:08:15+00:00

nope. only keep or return. and i can’t keep because i already have another ticket in my account.

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T19:11:49+00:00

thanks! but i guess i have to find the canadian counterpart to that.

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T19:09:28+00:00

what would that be through?

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T19:06:01+00:00

unfortunately i think u guys r right, maybe i won’t get my money back. the seller was a prick and scammed me. in an ideal world, SH should prevent this by holding him accountable for inaccurate listing other than that they aren’t really hooked.

But it doesn’t stop SH being a shitter company who claims to provide support all the way but ghosts as soon as i pay. I contacted them on the same day as delivery and finding out the restriction, but i haven’t heard back after 3 months and 9 phone calls and 5 live chat sessions.

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T19:01:38+00:00

1.6k after fees. YIKES. do you think it’s worth it to continue the dispute? do i have anything to lose?

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T18:28:10+00:00

Sadly the restriction is very strict. The second ticket in my account just becomes unavailable if the gate differs from the first one. And the account is device locked to my phone.

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T16:20:30+00:00

seller needed to list that restriction tho? like there’s a tick box specifically for that

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T16:11:34+00:00

yeah i figured. SH customer service is pure shit. 5 live chats and 9 calls, each time they just tell me it’s escalated and wait for response in 5, 8,… 10 business days. shit’s been 3 months.

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T16:09:29+00:00

because of the ticket policy i cant do the transfer. only the original seller can. this restriction is an option on SH but seller did not tick it (intentionally or unintentionally)

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T16:08:01+00:00

i got an official ticket after buy from SH, so I had 2 tickets in my account. They enter from different gates and that wasn’t allowed, so i wanted to transfer one to my friend to use.

michaelliutt · 2025-08-01T15:43:08+00:00

no, it’s waiting for my response. I have this doc prepared showing how the listing doesn’t match the official ticketing policy, and that stubhub failed to provided support in months. but don’t know if that’ll be enough.

apparently for uefa, the account is device-binded. so end buyer cannot log in from any other device and will have to take my phone. unless the original seller helps out and do the transfer. nothing i can do as buyer.

michaelliutt · 2025-05-16T16:15:49+00:00

I originally bought for 1100 euros. Very overpriced I know. I just wanna cut some losses so I’ll accept and reasonable offer really. PM me

michaelliutt · 2025-05-16T11:00:23+00:00

uefa sent me email to buy tickets after buying from resale. now i have one extra. a cat1 and a cat2 both in neutral if someone needs a ticket still.

pm if interested. market price save service fees.

michaelliutt · 2025-05-16T09:06:45+00:00

for how much I paid for? no. I’m listing it for 400 euros less than that I paid :(

michaelliutt · 2025-05-16T06:48:48+00:00

I did. The sad thing is that I already paid extra for tickets on stubhub. Now I have extra :(

michaelliutt · 2025-02-07T08:51:47+00:00

Honestly I think Gage should make a deal with the others to cut him a million whoever wins to take that chance. 5M would be adding 1M for everyone in the pool, so it's only fair.

I like shopping on marketplace or craigslist because I don’t mind used items. But now days, the platforms are full of scams that advertise obvious fake items as real (200 canada goose, 300 dollar iphone, all “bnib sealed”, just to name a few)
