Thomson Reuters relocation interview
Submitted by Laura Shepherd on 18/06/2009 - Senior Marketing Manager
Why did you relocate to the UK?
Although I have a global role, which feasibly could be done from anywhere, I was spending a significant amount of time on business trips to our London headquarters. I was effectively commuting from NYC for 2 years. After a while, my London based boss thought it would make sense if I simply relocated.How many people were in your relocation party?
There are four of us. My wife Tina and our two children who were 4 and 1 at the time of the move.-
