Hi, I need some professionalism advice: I just recieved an MBB offer in a relatively small office. A few months back I was seeing a guy from that firm's office but it fizzled out. Now that I'm likely to join the firm, should I give the guy a heads up or let him be caught off-guard?

You should both be mature enough to separate your professional lives.

If it just fizzled ended on fine terms, could be a good to let him know you’re joining so you can get some advice and start networking

Depends how it fizzled out.. like mutual ghosting or one sided

More his side than mine.

Did you seek the job because of him? Are you interested in getting back with him?

1) No. 2) I'd be down haha

If it Fizzled Out Amiably then why say anything. If It died horribly and he sees it as you dumped him or he is still into you then I wouldn't say anything. In fact I would never say anything ever about some past romance, fling whatever it was as you say it fizzled out, so hopefully he is a cool dude and he will play it cool as well ! Leave it in the past and don't say anything as it can be misinterpreted know matter how innocent you're words and sentiments are !

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

One year in NYC—24, enjoyed myself, but no deep connections with new friends/partners. Came to hopefully open the door on a variety of opportunities, but something tells me that spending another year here will not help that. Money flies, space is cramped, not thrilled with my office, hate winter. I miss LA a lot—I miss driving, the weather, the space, people...but everyone tells me I have to give NYC at least 2 years. Thoughts?
