How would you react if you found out that your colleague was an escort?

I’m a retired sex worker and this year I decided to pursue my Masters degree in one of the top rated universities in Europe. I’m super low volume and all of my clients are well respected individuals within their career fields. I know some of them who work in well-known BB/HF firms. I’m interning at small boutique firm now but want to switch to BB in future. How realistic would that be? I’m afraid of potentially working with my clients/or being fired because of my past.

Don't ask, don't tell.
No point in disclosing this to anyone. Unless the internet is plastered with your face, I wouldn't worry. If you were in adult acting, people may find out and might have a problem with it. If you were an escort or similar, there is a low chance of people finding out. (make sure the agency deletes your profile if it was published /w personal data).

A good friend of mine went the other route, she was a degree-qualified professional with a FTE role in London and quit this life to move to Chatsworth. She is now with an agency that provides her services as a hardcore adult actress to the known producers. She said it is the best thing she has done in her life.

No you would not get fired if someone found out especially if its a man. Unfortunately I don't know what would happen if women did though but I imagine they would be catty. 

The biggest threat to you is not that you would be fired if someone finds out but certainly I can guarantee anyone who does would want to try to get you out of retirement or fantasize about it regularly because of how blindingly hot 110% of men would find your past and the fact they think you'll be able to handle it without telling anyone, which would make you more vulnerable to inappropriate behavior from them more than your other female colleagues.

It would unfortunately turn anyone who finds out into horny schoolboys whenever they are around you which I imagine might drive you nuts.  

Lastly i am willing to bet no one would find out. As long as you didn't have a public onlyfans with thousands of followers where you showed your face, even if someone recognizes you it would be treated as a rumor at best like how some offices has a guy that people think is a serial killer or something.
