Where I hope to be in 5 years

My advice to students considering work
Work out what you don't want to do - and don't stay in a job because you think you should, because you've not been there long enough, or because you're worried about letting people down.

You have to be very proactive to progress and often might face a lot of disappointment and lack of opportunity.
