Less social for sure! :(

@CS1 same. If I didn't see my friends on the weekend I would actually go crazy

More social, I can't spend weekdays with friends so I make up for it on the weekends

More social. Places like the Jane are full of finance people who all know each other

Is that more social or just taking your day to day work life and placing a social filter? I go out for drinks after work - but honestly, it's the same ish different location...

I actually like going out with non-work people, like friends from school. I guess they're also in finance but it's a different crowd

I think at first less but eventually it became more social in the sense that I'll try to do things more often not necessarily hanging out with more people. Learn to appreciate free time

2nd Cousin has a Mexican boyfriend of 4 months and is 3 months pregnant - did not have conversations with her mother or her sister, close cousins before going forward.

There are definitely some red flags with the guy with his income and that he doesn’t speak English, curious what others would do - what would your parents say? Mine would flip!
