Work and how I feel about my partner are not intertwined. More focused on interests and substance when we are together given long term that's what matters most.

@OP, @ass1 - you're a banker, maybe highly educated, certainly you have access to the upper tiers of civilizational knowledge. Hopefully you're a critical thinker. Why do you care what "normal" is? Do your thing. Allow those worthy of you to recognize it, ignore the assholes.

I should be asleep, sorry for the delivery, it was supposed to be... encouraging.

And yea yea, societal good, I hope the world changes too blah blah idealism...

I get what you're saying though OP. There is a sexist/gender normative idea that men should be the "strong" ones and make more money. I hope this fades with time.

I'd love to meet a girl who makes more than me and likes me. But, I haven't found many women who I've dated or even amongst my female friends that make more than their SO's. My personal opinion is that a career driven woman tends to attract an even more career driven man and the woman prefers the higher earner to the lower earner. May have nothing to do with the earning potential, but seems that way

Analyst1- that is one part of the equation. However, that factor is behavioral and evident in any professional industry. There are other fascinating socio-historical factors which support OPs statement (women in finance).....

I agree with the first Associate 1.. he means this answer really isn't a yes or no question to the masses...every man is different and would answer differently.

Then again I'd like a high earner too so we can ball out on an apartment and Dates

Most alphas wether the be female or male, like to show dominance. Rarely do two alphas have a successful partnership. Alpha =/= $$ btw but has a casual relationship.

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?
