English term or phrase: Within 6 months
Hola a todos,

Tengo una duda sobre como si mi traduccion altera el sentido de la oracion en ingles. Esta es la oracion:

Students find jobs within 6 months of graduation.

Yo use "En menos de 6 meses" y no "Dentro de", "En un periodo de"...

Que opinan?

De antemano, gracias por la ayuda.
