Hi all,

I work in insurance.

My new team is all middle aged females (been there over 10 years) not formally HR educated- I'm late 20s male and very well educated. I'm told I'm ver personable.
They are very close and have a clique often excluding me and making me feel left out. I am well connected socially and get free tickets to events to which I offer the team regularly.

I don't want to make a huge deal about how I feel and am treated. But any advice to better my interactions with the team?
