Is there an issue if I’m a close friend to one of the associates on the engagement team? Should this friendship be under the table because other associates might perceive favoritism even there’s none?

It’s not great, but I see it as more of an issue when one person is a manager. However, if you have actual management/performance pull on the team you should reconsider whether being a close friend with one of the associates is actually a good idea.

Everyone on my engagement team ended up being close friends after a few months. I don’t think it’s an issue. Dating might be a problem...
