Debate it for a while because you’re a director and she’s a senior associate but she’s the one who asked to grab dinner and then drops she has a bf when you’re walking back so now I just wfh for a while….
Yeah probably!
Do not act on it. DO NOT ACT ON IT. There is an expression, that is beautiful in both its simplicity and accuracy. "Don't sh*t where you eat".
If may seem like the best idea in the world, it might seem like it all makes sense, what could go wrong? You get to see them more often cause you work together! DO NOT DO IT. This has the highest chance out of any decision in your career to ruin your life.
The ways it can be successful is 1.
The ways this could easily and utterly implode and impact both work and home life is infinite.
aka don't get your bread and butter from the same place. Very good advice.
As someone who's ex-McKinsey, I didn't act on it and now regret it because now I'd be married to a CEO...
If it's a totally different division/spike/interest group (whatever your firm's language is for expertise), tread lightly and feel it out. If it's same team...wait until someone quits. But if it's real...don't ignore it.
I think THEY dodged a bullet if the only reason why you regret it is because you would have been financially set by marrying them. Basing spousal interest on money is incredibly antiquated... Earn your own life, don't ride on the coat tails of others.
Bang away people. You have hotel access on the road
Whose the crush
Seems it might be my lucky day then.
Same as always. If your inamorata /inamorato is a colleague, start with informal, friendly conversations to test the waters, so to speak. If the signals are positive, suggest a lunch or dinner and see where it goes. Stop immediately if signals are not positive. Never try to date a colleague you manage now or might reasonably expect to supervise on a project. Never try to date anyone upline of you. Otherwise, "gather ye rosebuds ...."
Act on it cos I'm a living proof of asking your crush out.
Got married to my wife in the same office and we are still married today with 2 beautiful kids 😁
