So I have come to my safe place. My confidence took a hit after the girl of my dreams took off. How should I handle this? Stay single and date a lot? I have this set of rules in my head that I have to get married and have kids around 30, which is in 3 years.

You should handle it like any other day of your life. Maybe you meet someone. Maybe you don't. Maybe you get together and it works out. Maybe it doesn't.
Life isn't about "rules" or "paths."
I know I should let go. It’s just so damn hard
raising kids is dumb expensive that’s why. assuming you want the best education you can get for them: my hs and college are now 68k/yr and 75k/yr. you’re looking at 1.5 mil post tax for 3 kids and that’s assuming you put them through the public system until then
68k a year for high school...? 4 years of my college and high school tuition do not even add up to 68k. That sounds like a scam of a high school.
prep school or bust tbh
It really depends. My highschool class of 350ish in a solid northeast public school sent only 1 non-athlete to an ivy school. Sure, they weren't all dedicated, maybe even only 25 were.
Top private highschools, Choate for instance, sends per year: 10 to Yale
8 to colombia
5-6 to Harvard
5 to Brown
Over 6 to elite LACS
5 to Upenn
6 to Uchicago
4 to Dartmouth
5 to Cornell
3 to Duke
3 To Princeton
Really don't feel like going on but as someone who went to public school, the difference is mind-boggling. Any non-elite stem school or something in a major city would be lucky to have one kid a year going to half of these schools.
Obviously, there is some self-selection as to the type of students that can get into schools like there, but I'd bet that being in a school like that would also make the students more dedicated than if they went to some random middle class public highschool without peers who also wanted to go to top schools.

Take a breather. You can make some really bad decisions that will waste a whole lot more time if you go out looking when your ego is bruised
How did she take off? Did she break it off with you or did you catch her cheating?
27 and an A2 - you have more things to worry about than women brother

Not sure here. European Banker so A2A promotion coming up shortly
Implication: "I'm single and girls are lining up - should I commit?"
Reality: "I have no one and am on the rebound."
One rule to follow; bang any girl you want but do not go in for a serious relationship with someone from the same industry, job etc
Why? I feel like if they're from the same/similar industry they'll understand the commitments of the job
yeah probably but they will be lacking in other parts, it is more than just understanding the commitments of the job. I saw couples who had unhealthy relationships, %40-50 of the reasons were industry related.
Agreed, prior experience in this category as well. Maybe it was just her personality and my immaturity at the time, but 50% of the together time revolved discussing work and deals we were on. Not like it was a competition, but looking back, it certainly could have been perceived that way. Eventually, it felt like an extension of your job instead of having a partner (works both ways) that would give a different perspective of the world and opinion. My own opinion here, but typically people in the same industry have similiar ways of thinking and personality, which in the short term seems like a great fit, but really becomes dull in the long run.
this shouldn’t take convincing...
