Exactly the same SA position as GF

So me and my GF both applied for summer intern positions at various banks. Somehow, the only offer we each received was for exactly the same bank, exact same division, exact same group. WTF do I do?

She's really excited about spending all that time working together. I, however, am not wearing the same rose-tinted specs. I imagine working 100hr weeks together would put a strain on even the strongest relationships. There's putting on an act the whole time, acting with 100% professionalism with someone you're used to treating on a very personal level. Then there's the ongoing competition for a FT offer.

Anyone have experience/know of a similar situation and able to offer any advice?

Good joke.

If true...world of pain coming your way my friend. Most married couples probably only actually interact with each other around 40 hours per week.

Let's assume for a normal non-banker:

7 x 8hrs = 56hrs of sleep per week 5 x 10hrs = 50hrs of work per week (assuming commutes and whatnot) 7 x 3hrs = 21hrs of random you time (friends, sports, working out, reading, bathroom, whacking it, etc...)

Of the 168 hours in a week you would not spend ~127hrs with your gf leaving you with 40 or so hours that could be spent with the gf.

You would literally see your gf 100+ hours a week. That cannot be healthy for any male. At least you can get laid late night at the office.

 

Hoo boy, good luck.

You should defuse the situation beforehand.

But congrats on achieving that well-known office blowjob fantasy.
