How do you deal with being an introvert at an MBB?

I see such a strong bond among my colleagues but I feel left out.

At the end of the day, I just want to go home to my family. Does that mean post work dinner/drinks are a compulsion to be made to feel included?

I found associates to be very clique so depends on the group. That being said, you have to put yourself in situations to be invited to things to get included. Tbh you’re not missing out on much. Most people hangout outside work here are single and lonely and looking to fill a void

If you have a family - go home to your family. Guarantee they care more than your colleagues
