Prepositions(in, at, for..) are essential when talking about your job, company, or field.

You should follow these patterns : 

 

I work in + field, department

I work at/for + company (=I'm with 회사명)

I work as + job

I can't complain 그런저럭 괜찮다. (Informal 한 표현으로는 So so, Not bad 정도가 있음)

 

Do you mind if I ~~ 라고 의문문형태는 "내가 ~ 하면 너 신경쓰이겠니? 거슬리니?" 느낌이므로,

"난 괜찮아, 신경쓰지마 혹은 너 원하는대로 해도 괜찮아" 라고 대답하려면 "No"가 와야 함.

(EX)

A : Do you mind if I call you by your first name?

B : No, not at all.
