I married my best friend from high school. I don't like the industry more than the values, same goals, same perspective on life, and priorities. I think this speaks way louder than the industry. After these other things are aligned, then it could go either way, the same or a different industry.

That makes so much sense. I agree that shared values, life goals, and priorities matter so much more than whether you work in the same field. Being in the same industry might make some things easier, but it’s that deeper alignment that really builds a strong foundation for a marriage.
Well, considering we're now exes, I'd say it hurts the relationship when you're both very "type A" with strong personalities. It's probably more about that and less about having a job in the same industry TBH, but I won't be dating anyone else in finance, I can tell you that much.
Rising Star
Totally get that, sometimes it’s less about the industry and more about the dynamic between two strong personalities. Being in the same field can definitely amplify the intensity, especially if you’re both driven in similar ways. I can see why you’d want to steer clear of that combo going forward.
Never dated anyone in my industry. Think it’s always been interesting to talk about work and find the parallels. Even in completely different fields, there will be a lot of similarities.

That’s such a great point. Even when you’re in totally different industries, you can still connect over shared experiences like team dynamics, office politics, or navigating tough deadlines. Sometimes those outside perspectives actually help you see your own work in a new light too.
