Original:

For me my new job is a new career, because I got a new position, which is higher than my previous one. So I plan to work hard for two or three years and during these days I may learn a lot of things which I haven’t met before. And I think I can also get a lot of new knowledge on my industry and a lot of communication skill between my coworkers, so I think after two or three years I may find another good position with a higher salary. This is my five years plan.
