The firm asked me and another senior associate to take the first year out to lunch on her first day. Sure no prob.

It’s making me feel super nickel and dined. Am I wrong?

Folks, any advice on applying for jobs at a previous client? As a firm we have great relationships with the senior client leadership and I am afraid that the GEP and my RL will eventually find out when I submit my job application.
