Today marks my 14th work anniversary. As with life so much is different now and so much is the same. Whenever i write about a work anniversary i have been running down the numbers related to my life since September 8, 2008. This year will not be any different.
When I started in Sept 2008, it was at Thomson Reuters. Since then I have technically worked at 3 companies. First Thomson Reuters, then Refinitiv, and now LSEG. This year my numbers are not as straight forward as in the past. I am in the process of transitioning into a totally new role. The transition is not done yet however since i have started doing the new role i am going to count the changes that role brings into these numbers.
I have worked out of 8 offices, across 2 continents. I have had 10 managers. Oddly in the past 5 years i have had 7 of those 10 managers. I have been in 7 different groups across those 14 years. Of course the lines blur a bit with the groups in some cases.
On a personal side in the same 14 years I have lived in 3 apartments and one house. Moved continents, gotten married, and had 2 kids.
