It’s my 1st year in banking and my year review, apparently some junior mentioned I haven’t integrated with the junior team enough- I go on coffees with everyone, take the time out to chat, go on brunches w/ them but it seems they want me to go out clubbing etc which is not my thing and I don’t drink either. Has anyone gone through something similar, or is there any advice on how to tackle this? Manager said, I should just go out even if I hate it.

I don’t think you have to go clubbing etc if you don’t want to. Being in a place where you don’t want to be doesn’t benefit either you or them.

Why would they give credit to something another junior said? Anyways I would try to go out occasionally, if you don’t drink that’s fine

She sounds a bit like someone who prides themselves on being ‘one of the boys’… ugh. it seems like you do participate in team things so if I were you I wouldn’t force myself to go clubbing specifically. If it’s really so important to them more than conform maybe worth questioning whether to stay in a place with this kind of culture in the long term

Not everyone likes clubbing. I would ask for specific examples of how you haven’t integrated with the team instead of this vague statement that’s leading you to draw your own conclusions. If it really is about not going clubbing, their culture might not be a good fit for you. I wouldn’t go out to be around drunk people until 2am while being sober, that sounds horrible.

Thank you for the advice, I will see if I can get anything more specific to figure out what the issue is (if there is such a one).

I’m kind of shocked to hear this! How can they hold you NOT going clubbing against you?

Not too sure, maybe just the industry or just the voice of one frustrated junior, I have not much more idea
