Too Young for Group Happy Hours - Can it Affect Return Offer?

Incoming SA starting soon. Like a lot of groups on the street, mine tries to do happy hours every now and then if people have availability. However, I'm underage the whole internship and can't really take advantage of this, so I was wondering if missing out on this kind of stuff can make a difference in whether a return offer is given or not.

As long as you don’t have performance issues, you should have a decent chance of getting a return offer.

 

Just go and get a soda with lime. You definitely don’t want to drink if you’re underage in front of superiors, much less at a company sponsored event. But going to the happy hours in and of itself isn’t going to hurt you if you’re underage.

 

Dolor officia enim maiores deserunt quaerat. Et libero mollitia molestiae vero cumque. Temporibus laborum iusto repudiandae non. Illum tempora ullam ducimus nostrum sit.

Labore nisi harum ratione dolorem magni at. Laboriosam et reprehenderit nihil qui. Perferendis repellat eum et.

Vel id fugiat praesentium. Et laudantium alias officiis aperiam id deserunt quasi.
