☀️ Summer has officially arrived at hackajob ☀️ We’re taking time this season to step away from our screens and hang out together as teams, and London kicked things off in classic style. 🥇 Think a proper British summer sports day packed with rounders, tug of war, egg and spoon races, and sack jumping chaos. Of course, we planned it on a day with rain in the forecast... but somehow, the sun showed up. Safe to say, London set the bar pretty high. 🔥 Stay tuned for more summer fun from our Bogotá, NYC and Iași teams soon🌍 👀.
