 As I mentioned in previous posts, at the end of November, [I left my job as CTO at Filament](https://brainsteam.co.uk/2024/11/29/end-of-an-era/) and took December off to rest and recuperate. I started my new role on Monday. I've joined Thomson Reuters' Labs team as a Research Engineering Manager. I'm very excited about the role and joining a team with a really good reputation for high-quality research and software engineering with elements of machine learning and natural language processing. I've also been reflecting on the fact that I'm returning to a very large organisation for the first time in nearly a decade since I left IBM.

 I'll be spending 3 days a week working from home and 2 days a week on site in the swanky London office. The office space is modern and spacious right in the middle of Canary wharf, The TR labs lean have dedicated space there and a pretty good in-person presence, at least on the days I'll be going in. There is a regular team lunch where we all get together and eat which means most people chose to come in on the same day for that. There is also branded swag to help instil that all important sense of belonging. I was given TR Labs t-shirt, hoodie, moleskine and stickers!
 
-My first week has been full of onboarding activities and intro calls and form filling but I'm already having a great time and I feel really privileged to have been able to join such a high performing-but-humble-and-friendly team at this stage in my career. I'm really excited to see what week 2 brings!
