Dating someone at work?
I want no sarcastic answers or rude answers thank you!
What do you guys think about dating someone at work? I am a female second year analyst at a MM bank. I work in M&A and the guy I am crushing one is a second year S&T analyst. I am ambitious and care about my work blablabla, but I have a huge crush on this guy.
I have scehduled a coffee chat with him under the guise of networking but I just want to f*ck his brains out.
Is this advisable? Any advice from the male perspective?
If you are going to play this card aim for a bit more seniority in the company
why does seniority matter? lol
Don’t fish off the company dock.
Don't dip your pen in the company ink.
Don't crap where you eat.
Don't get high off your own supply.
What other ones did I miss?
For an actual answer: don't. Just don't. Get as friendly as you want but don't cross that line unless either one of you winds up working somewhere else. Even if you think being in different verticals is enough, your superiors will know his or at least flow in the same circles and despite your best efforts someone will say something even if they think it's innocuous and it'll find it's way back to you two.
Then again, people do get drunk and do goofy things at company events so you'd at least have an excuse to "work out your aggressions" with him that way.
Thank you for your answer!
Unless you're in completely different parts of the business and run no risk of working together in the future, don't do it. Seriously.
You can PM me. I dated the girl I sat next to at GS lol
We get it pussygalore, you worked at GS. Even when you post something that doesn’t piss off half the site, you find a way to bring up that you worked at GS. Guess what, so do/did half of us hardos on this site.
Reversing this slightly, I'm seeing someone and there's an opening in a different group in my firm. They use me as a resource, but we're not in the same vertical until you hit the guy below the CEO. I think this person would be a good fit, and while a finance n00b, I'd make sure the work done was top notch. (the job is literally answering client questions, and while that role is only allowed to do basic things and use stock answers, if they come to me I can create things on the fly for them.) It'd also be a big pay jump, and we're serious enough that I'm beginning to think of the income gap. It doesn't feel right having a little red sports car and a Ducati while my S/O doesn't own a car and can't drive. (yes, Brooklyn, OK, I kinda get it)
It's a ND, not a 1.6L NA with Daisies TYVM. Also: the NA looks best in green. I know, an ex totaled 0.7% of the BRG NAs imported to the US.
Probably will be looked down upon because of Chinese Wall. Could find yourself entangled with Compliance. I’m not against workplace relationships generally speaking but this is an awful group pairing.
Excellent point here - BB/MM typically don't care about workplace relationships from a compliance standpoint, but this is a big conflicts issue
I wouldn’t do it but I’ve never wanted to “fuck someone’s brains out at work” lol. So if that happens than I’m sure my answer would be different. Though one time, there was an art history professor. Anyway, use your best judgment I’m sure you understand the risks here. Not sure if you saw the post about the guy who told his boss about the girl he had thing for at work... don’t do that.
Just go for it.
You're young, it doesn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things. Be normal, get consent and act like adults about it. Everything should be fine.
Good chance the guy isn’t interested. Whenever a girl has made a move on me I’ve generally passed
Good for you...? Not sure why you shared this because it is not helpful. Jerk
It’s actually very helpful. Don’t come on too strong
