Hooking up with other summer associates Forum

Aware me on whether or not this is allowed.

I would think if the firm has a policy prohibiting it that you've been actually or constructively made aware of, then don't do it, otherwise it's fair game.

I can't possibly see how it could lead to good results though, given that you'll likely be working closely that person for the next 2+ years. Just sounds awkward and unnecessary.

Even worse than teh lawcest. In school, there is a chance that you will work at the same firm at graduation. As a summer associate, there is a very good chance that you will work at the same firm at graduation.

To quote another poster on TLS: there are only two outcomes: either you get married, or it will end horribly.

People are going to say no, but I say go for it. Make sure you're clear about where it's going though so she doesn't think you actually want to date her.

Nice.

Nah, just too much chance of it turning out badly. If it turns out badly (as it often does), you leave that person with a loaded gun to torpedo you in a way no outsider can. Bang summers from other firms. They will be easy to find in a big city over the summer.

Lol, exactly. This ALWAYS works.

Hooking up with summers is amateur hour. Don't even post unless you step your game up to associates, and know that summers in classes before you have hooked up with - and even wound up dating / marrying - partners. Go big or go home.

+1. Make your friends at other firms introduce you to those summer associates.

Back when I was a summer, I hooked up with over 50% of the summer class. Granted, over half of the summer class was male, but you can't be picky ITE.

Pretty sure she was a full time associate at the time. Even better.

Have some self respect. Don't hit on other summers. Go for partners only.

Lol Kidding!

Thank you. This is just terrible. And also not funny enough to convince me that it's a joke.

It's a long-standing joke / meme. You don't have to like it, but it has deep roots.

This coming from the guy who hooked up with one of his ship-mates. I get that she was a prostitute, but geez man have some standards.

My interwebs noob status has been out on display for everyone to see. I will say good day now.

No one actually reads those past the point of "Can s/he write one? Ok."

I'm with TSL: get that pansy shit out of here unless you're hooking up with actual associates.
