Can sleeping with a client get an intern fired? I may have made a mistake.

A client organization invited us to a business oriented cocktail party. I made decent conversation with one of the clients and a group of the clients and I (with no one else from my firm) went to a bar for drinks. The client in question left with me after the first bar so that we could continue drinking at other bars while the other clients went home...

I ended up having a night of wild sex with the client at her place. If someone finds out about this, could I be fired? I'm concerned that some of the other clients from the client organization might have inferred what was going on since the client I slept with doesn't have a car.

 

You won't get fired. But you can do something with this.

If your staffer or director doesn't know, call them into a meeting room and confess. If either/both is female, look for a male to confess to. Keep it very light on detail. The older the guy, the better. Play young and naive, like you think you've done a bad thing and are worried about getting fired.

At this point, your confessor will likely be excited and wanting details so he can live vicariously. Give him some details, but not too much. Leave him knowing and wanting more details.

Don't swear him to secrecy. You don't have to tell him he can tell anyone, but just make sure you're not invoking confidentiality.

Given the level of wannabe machismo in most offices, by the end of the day you'll be getting high fives.

DISCLAIMER: I could be completely wrong and this could get you fired.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.

Don't kiss and tell. If everyone would stop snap chatting, tweeting and facebooking their sexcapades people world wide would be getting more booty.

This is usually a badge of honor for the wall street guys that I've come across. Sounds like you provided exceptional client service, which should improve both your personal brand and the brand of your firm.

Even in my neck if the woods (accounting), I have to imagine this happens at most companies sooner or later. For us it's usually the blonde female intern as meat, but OP's tale is very believable.

Some of those 30-something's at the client, I'm just saying, buy them a red wine and have the DJ play "black velvet" and you're set.

 

Thumbs up! Best story ever! Keep in mins that most of the women dont talk about their private life and especially not in this case. Remember she isgoing to be the bitch of the office. So keep calm she Will Not say Anthing
