One thing I've noticed in the 4+ years of working in the UK is that any team social is almost inevitably going to include some sort of quiz. I've also learnt that I am really bad at quizzes 😅

Today was my final day at my first tech job. I have a lot to say and feeling a lot of emotions, but I think I’m running out of words for now. So here’s some thoughts from other platforms 💜 I’m recharging for the next few weeks before jumping into the exciting future!
