I’m especially excited about that last bullet point. I remember January 2016 as one of the best months of my life because I worked for weeks at the Oxford office. It was Julia’s first time visiting too and so I got to know her, Will, Rob, Michelle, and lots of other CEA / 80K staff. It will probably be a bit harder now that I have kids, but I’m really excited imagining a work setup that involves the opportunity to go work with my team and other EAs at the Oxford Hub!
