　　Starting Career in a Big City or Small TownWant to be a small fish in a big pond or the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when he starts his career. Some prefer to stay in the big cities after graduation. To them, big cities mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another temptation².

　　But some other graduates want to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive³ life. Another reason is they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management’s attention and may win promotion⁴ earlier.

　　As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a big city like Shanghai. A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.
