Welcome to the WSO Weekly Wrapup, where I talk with my team about the five most

trending discussions in the Wall Street Oasis community. Enjoy.

Welcome to another episode of the WSO weekly wrap up. It is February 9th. We got about,

I think, three topics we're going to cover today

that we're trending in the community. Matt, take it away. Sure. So this first one is definitely

an interesting one. Probably been on a lot of individuals' minds when joining their first role

of the university here again into the workforce. But first question asked in the forums was,

what are your thoughts on the first year asking out a second year, mixing romance with your

professional career? Pat, thoughts on this one. Well, I may or may not have had a similar story

like this for myself when I was banking. No, it's tough when you're

working long hours. You don't have a lot of time to meet people outside. So I think it's pretty

natural. I think I'd be more nervous if he or she was a second year trying to date like

some junior to now. I think there's more risk there.

thinking. Don't shit where you eat. And I think that could be applied in a lot of different

places. But for my understanding, I think some firms actually have like internal policies around

that, if I'm not mistaken, right, where they don't allow relationships. I mean, it's obviously

Yeah, are you supposed to disclose it? It doesn't stop it. I mean, it's super common, especially in, like, careers where you're spending 80 hours a week, like, in the same office. Right. You know, late nights and you're exhausted. You're not going out to a bar after. So some people do have end up in those relationships. I know just from my analyst class alone, like I think one of the female analysts ended up

starting dating like an MD or a director at the time.
