You're done when you finish your work. I've had emails from HR at like 6pm onwards lol, it's not a fixed 9-5
Given it's HR and given it's Friday, drinks start at 2pm
Call it 9-3 on Fridays unless they are actually jamming on work (i.e. sending Friday night emails the week before intern training). If you are waiting around for an offer or response I wouldn't expect it after 5pm
