My boss had a talk with me yesterday about my contract renewal since my contract will be expire after Sep. I expressed my thoughts about the new contract terms and I want to get the promotion and salary increase. But I am not sure if the company will agree the conditions. So I need to start to prepare the 2nd option and it means I need find the other job as an alternative. I have worked about five years but sometimes I am still confused about my career. It is hard to find a job/company which will be loyal to each other.
