Thoughts on the NY town hall?

Hence I joined the company but I was skeptical because it is product based food package manufacturing company. this is my 3 rd company.yoe -3.5 .net developer. I was not going to switch because my earlier work was nice. Current with this different industry i feel if I took right decision and will it be ok if I switch again or should I wait for some time.

Anything else I can do or am I good?

Thoughts on what to do? I’m comfortable, but thinking about of the future
