Saw a thread where a guy says he has a crush on his director and wants to ask her out, i've heard that its not against firm policy to date coworkers as long as if its turned down you don't ask again.
Working in IB i find this insane, but i'm genuinely curious if it happens and do people ever make it to marriage?
I always told myself the only reason I would do that is if i'm in love with the person for some reason and even then i'll deny it if any one suspects anything.
PS by coworkers I mean people literally on the same floor as you, not a girl in another department in another side of the building, i mean actual coworkers.
I'm also more curious to hear stories of those people who work in IB/PE/HF because I'm sure there's a lot of stories of two bartenders dating each other or something.
You realize this is the hedge fund forum right? Are you curious about this happening in hedge funds in particular?
Mods smartly moved it to Off-Topic. Concur that OP mentions working in IB but if this was posted first in the HF subforum while titled for three different industries...? Also, pretty narrow to not consider consulting or AM, RE, or PWM, etc. AKA, the financial industry as a whole where we're all fiduciaries.
And no, OP. Doesn't matter if you're on the same floor so long as you're not on the same team or projects that would construe a conflict of interest. IRead the HR docs on fraternization at your firm to see if there's some more stringent policies, and that's that. If you were a direct report to that MD? They're going to knock you the f out legally. Especially if someone winds up with a ring on their finger from it (behold, Nepotism has entered the chat). Speaking of legally, as an example, I've worked for a B4 lawfirm where a senior partner (the son of one of the founders no less) started dating his secretary. So to avoid the both fraternization and later nepotism conflict (they got married, turned out well from that standpoint) she quit so they were no longer coworkers.
No. The bottom line is you get a look - whether it be good or not - as the guy or girl who dates at work. Definitely a pair or two seeing each other (walking together to get water 1 too many times, proximity when chatting, at work events, etc) but haven't said anything, leaving pure speculation. Being out in the open, I've never seen it. Can we also point out that analysts who get married should be in the same bucket? Why am I getting an invite to a 2nd year's wedding?
