Do most consultants cheat when in a relationship? And as you go higher, the cheating is more frequent and common? 🧐 Calling out all consultants, drop a yes or no if you have cheated and your gender and if in some ways your job contributed to this behaviour!! 😂

Male, never. It has nothing to do with my job. It can only be related to my character I believe.

If ever there were a classic consultant exchange, this would be it.

Female, married for over a decade, have never cheated and never will. My husband has also traveled for work (not in consulting) and has never cheated.

Completely positive. I’ve told him I’d bobbit him if he ever cheated, and he knows I’m crazy enough to do it 😂

On a more serious note, his first marriage ended when his ex-wife cheated and hid it for a year… we both are pretty disgusted by cheating and super aligned on protecting our marriage above anything.

thanks honey, it hasn’t been without temptations..

So, did you give in to those temptations?

40, male. Have never cheated but may do so now that I’ve read this post. Thanks, OP!

Male, no. And nobody in friend group that I’m aware of either.

Weird thread. Male and no.

Nope, never cheated

never cheated and never will. but my 2nd week on the job a new joiner like me slept with a manger to get on a good project. she cheated on her bf (still together) and the manager had already gotten divorced for cheating with analysts before

…she didn’t do it for the project, com’on.

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!
