Has anyone here ever pursued a relationship with a client? 😱 how did you go about it? Did you leave the account before making any moves?

Yup! And married them too

I’ve known of folks who did while they were on the engagement lol usually it got messy

No but I married my former manager. We started dating after I rolled off our engagement.

Yes, some time after the project was over. It was a great relationship - we ended up parting ways because we were at different moments in life (he wanted to get married and have kids; I was not going to be ready for it for a while). I look back on it fondly, no regrets.

I strongly suggest to not do anything during the project. Can be very messy and impact your career and reputation.

Totally agree with this!! Wouldn’t dream of doing anything while we’re directly working together

I wish I had this luck but I’ve only had a crush on one person that I’ve worked with

My former roommate ended up marrying her client 😂 but didn’t start a relationship until after he left his job (this was 8+ years ago)

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:

2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!

I know there are definitely worse out there so it’s hard to put my foot down and resign, I could just stick it out for a year but am feeling demotivated and too exhausted to do anything else but sleep after hours/weekends.
