Friendship of utility as described in the case with Amanda, to me is ok and perfect because even though she knows you're still green in the industry and want to learn more using her as a mentor to boost your way in, she still agrees and readily taught you the ropes on how things are done.
Showing genuine happiness and joy for your first deal even though she knew it was coming speaks highly of her
Yes, it's okay to a large extent with that variable. It's the type of friendship that can be termed professional friendship lol. Still, there's also this underlying realization that one may just be building on sand, instead of a stone that's mote durable.
Thanks for stopping by :)
