To talk about life transitions and career shifts, you can mark a continuous new reality using the structure **از ... به بعد** (from ... onwards).

### The Circumposition "از ... به بعد"

To indicate that an action or state lasts continuously after a certain point, use the words **از** (from) and **به بعد** (after/onwards). This operates as a circumposition, meaning it wraps around the time or event it modifies. 

Place **از** before the time or event, and **به بعد** immediately after it.

### Past, Present, and Future

This structure is flexible. It works just as well for events that started in the past (like an internship) as it does for arrangements that will begin in the future (like starting a new job).

Notice that the structure remains exactly the same whether it introduces a clause at the beginning of the sentence or falls seamlessly in the middle:
