One Month On
'Tempus Fugit' as they say in Latin.
Just over one month ago I joined Fifth Ring as a Front End Developer. To say I hit the ground running is a bit light on impact to describe what has been one of my busiest months in years. I'm thoroughly enjoying my time here so far though and getting the opportunity to learn about project management on a larger scale while also learning about business strategy and a whole plethora of other things relating to how a large agency operates. I am soaking up a lot of knowledge here while mainly concerning myself with building websites which, is what I hoped would happen.
One of my main initial concerns when joining was how i'd readjust to working with a lot of people again. Since I left London in 2003 I have only worked in very small and focussed 2-5 man teams and to suddenly find myself in the midst of a global operation was a bit daunting if i'm being completely honest. Everyone I've met so far has been very friendly and welcoming so I suppose I really had nothing to worry about. I must admit that the fact I've been doing work for Fifth Ring as a supplier for the past 5 years helped a lot in making sure that not everyone I meet is a complete stranger.
All in all a good month and a great start to what I hope will be a long stay with my new employers.
