Is it a bad idea to date a sr manager (when I'm a staff) in my office if he is in a different line of service? We are in a large office, if that makes a difference.

OP sounds like you two met outside of the office and before knowing you worked in same firm. There shouldn't be an issue with your career since you don't work together. As long as you have similar maturity levels and keep office and dating life separate, it should work out. If it is a large office and you two are professional about it, no one cares. No meaningful gossip. Dated someone in same LoS and everybody respected it and dealt with it like adults. It never really came up in conversations.

I don't know. It can work out. I k ow a few married coupkes that met at the office. That being said.. you should never shit where you eat. There are plenty of men/women outside of the office to date. Not to mention the shit storm it will be if it goes bad.

Tread lightly. Good luck.

To answer your questions--- I find him attractive obviously. He isn't married.

I actually had this conversation with him yesterday. He is looking to leave EY as he was contacted with a really great opportunity last week. So maybe we won't be at the same firm after all and avoid any potential office gossip or negative implications.

Do you think it would be better to add a female associate to my practice or a male or do you think it wouldn't matter as long as they're qualified. I know sounds like I'm stepping into a mine field but I'll concede a woman adds different intrinsic attributes to a team- on the other hand, I've already got a wife maybe I should steer clear??

I am on an engagement that has 2 managers. I enjoy working with 1 manager. He is very understanding and provides feedback/guidance. However, the other belittles me. She is constantly asking “why” and even when I am not sure of the response she keeps pressuring. She provides no actual information for me to learn from. Not sure if I should correct her on how she should speak to me. Or if I should jump ship & ask not to be on this engagement. still new so i am not stuck on this team yet.

I am burning out. My manager forgot her password for a program and blamed me. She said: how do you dare to change my password. I just have access to her account not her personal email. To change a password you need an email and a confirmation code because I am an average person, not a hacker. If I was a hacker I would have used that skill to do something better that change her password or look into her things tbh. I cannot stand her, she is constantly attacking me and seriously ruining my life.
