Okay going in then! Commute sucks tho 😢 EY 2 - any other suggestions/good practices from your transfer experience?

Depends on how large the office is. I transferred, and the new office was so large that nobody else there knew anyone either, frickin weird

Show your face. Especially if it's a small office. They'll notice and are expecting your presence
