So Iâve been lurking here a while but I need some advice so I guess itâs time to get my feet wet. Iâm 25, I live in NYC, and I work in marketing but Iâm also a freelance writer with a (small) following. Iâm not very happy with my current career and Iâve been thinking about making the jump to a media job where I could write full time. Itâs competitive obviously so thatâs been a little slow.
Recently I met a guy (through Scruff, not classy, sorry) we met up for late night drinks. One thing lead to another, fast forward a few hours and Iâm at his apartment drinking his whiskey, doing a modest amount of coke, hooking up, and trading life stories. I know this sounds trashy as hell but it was honestly one of the most honest, invigorating nights of my life. We talked about bad break ups and our careers, I think we both cried and laughed at one point or another. Iâm not a big advocate for drugs generally, but in this case we ended up in just the right place to form a real connection.
Anyway, we went our separate ways but it turns out he works for a big digital media company that shall remain nameless and heâs been pushing me to let him set me up with a job. This seems like something thatâsâ within his power to do. Weâre roughly the same age but he works as an editorial recruiter. Iâm torn about taking an opportunity that comes about in this way. On the one hand, itâs basically the perfect job, on the other hand wtf am I thinking? Who offers career help to someone they just met in those circumstances. Iâm not, in fact, some sort of crazed party guy, but all he knows about me is that I will do coke with a stranger and that Iâm great at eating ass. Thatâs insane right?
As far as I can tell heâs not looking for anything. He has a slightly older fiancé back in San Francisco but theyâre in an open relationship. He hasn't really pursued another hookup or even asked to hang out socially, he just seems very keen to get me a job. I want to do it but Iâm a little wary of connecting my career so blatantly to a very uncharacteristic one night stand even though he seems like a thoroughly decent guy.
