If you want to show stability, probably don’t bring someone that you’ll never be bringing again...
This! There is a male senior manager in my office he brings a different woman every year. It's a running joke.
Just go as you. Per doctor suess: there is no one you er than you.
Why does bringing a date make you more stable? Sure, bring a friend to have fun with, but the firm is made up of great people and I don’t know anyone that would judge you as unstable if you show up on your own.
I second this! Go stag and use the event to socialize with your colleagues outside of work to show another side of your personality, but still consider it a networking event.
You can bring a friend if that will make you enjoy the party more and if you think the friend will like it. These social gatherings of only consultants can get boring for some “outsiders”... ie it’s often a lot of work / consulting talk.
That being said, not sure how bringing a “random” date will “show stability”. Do you mean a friend that you might bring every year until you have a “stable” partner?
Make sure you bring someone that aligns to your firm values (like someone who won't get stupid drunk or pick a flight), but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. Your co-workers know you're single, so they aren't going to judge you if a different person shows up at the next event (most probably won't even remember).
Lol fair enough, appreciate the insights and I’ve been seeing a few people consistently so it wouldn’t just be a rando off the street. I’m definitely leaning just towards bringing a friend because I’m too awkward to mingle alone at these things
In my eyes, it's a power move to go alone, you're a boss who don't need no man!
