Career question of the week: re partying with a paralegal
Nothing wrong with that right…?
But there’s partying and there’s partying…
And as a summer student it’s normally best to keep it to the tame end of the scale. Ah well.
Bitter Lawyer: I’m a (gay) Summer Associate, and last week I hooked up with this freaky paralegal. We had sex and did lots of coke. Stupid, I know. But now I’m terrified he’s going to ruin my career. What if he tells someone? Should I get out in front of this and talk to my summer mentor? Please advise ASAP.
Rely on the protection offered by mutually assured career destruction or time for some pro-active damage limitation…..? Bitter Lawyer adivses.
