Me and my best friend are both interning in the same group at a BB. No one knows how close we are but know we are civil / friends due to going to the same school.
If we both we get the offer, do you think there could be any issues / conflict of interest? Is it worth disclosing?
Appreciate any insight.

This is the opposite of an issue, this is super great for you guys and certainly no need to disclose... lucky bastards! I've seen this before and the two had a blast and became much closer since IB is so intense. Just don't live together is my single recommendation
You only need to disclose romantic relationships. Friendships are no problem and encouraged
Thank you
Seconded advice to not live together lol
Why not live together?
Just a really easy way to not be friends with someone anymore... it's one thing to live with a best friend when you have separate jobs but it's just very hard to tolerate ANYONE for literally 24 hours per day.
You'll spend 18 hours a day together, that's enough
Unless “best friend” is some form of euphimism, no need to disclose. Will make it more fun.
We’re all envious of you. Wish bestie moved logos right beside me.
Wish I worked with my friends…
but have heard from others that working with friends isn’t always smooth sailing lol
I was in the same group as two of my best friends from school, not an issue at all...
🤔
Is this a romantic interest or something? Either way I’m baffled by this post
I’m talking about best friends since elementary school and practically brothers
Unless eskimo brothers, no need to disclose. There should be an internal form to fill out on any past mutual shared partners (believe it only dates back to the beginning of college, but I could be wrong).
Living the dream
Bro it's not the fucking trenches of Flanders, of course it's going to be alright, even better, grinding it out with your homies and shooting the shit is pretty much the only thing keeping me in this job.
hahahah. "this isn't a higgins boat on omaha beach"
Welllll akshually, Omaha Beach wasn't THAT bad in terms of losses. I get that it's cinematic, but as far as amphibian operations go, losses were perfectly acceptable. If you want to see some real losses, try the Battle of Hürtgen Forest...
Shouldn't be an issue. Used to work with a close friend and it did get awkward at one point, I was a top performer and he was bottom of the barrel. Got better once he quit for another job. Glad he wasn't my subordinate when I got promoted a bit after he left. He was terrible at his job (saw his performance metrics after I got promoted).
