In IB/PE, do your partners (girlfriend, boyfriend etc.) ever meet your coworkers or boss?

In IB/PE, do your partners (girlfriend, boyfriend etc.) ever meet your coworkers or boss? Perhaps at holiday parties, work retreats?

It depends on the firm. At my bank it isn't the norm - I'm at a large global IB and our holiday parties are usually just internal. However, at both of my parter's previous PE shops (both LMM / MM, so perhaps more of a community vibe), they had summer parties which had partners attend. My own experience is too narrow as a sample size, but maybe if others respond you'll get a good sample.

 

i'm worried my gf will either cheat on me, or know that i'm talking to people at work
