You know.. today I've been in my old company. I've been working there for 5 years and it was like seeing sliding doors (the movie I mean), like seeing a parallel life I mean.
Now I work abroad and my life has changed, but only a few months ago I was working there. And I could still been working there, doing the same street every day.
I'm happy to have changed.
- Can I use the expression: "you know..", for starting a sentence? Is it idiomatic? Am I doing a rigth use of it? I use it for drawing attention.
- The tense in the other two bolded sentence are rigth?

Let me try though NSs may help us better.
Now, I work abroad and my life has (completely) changed. (It's hard to believe) But, just a few months ago, I was working there and I would have been still working there doing the same job everyday (if I had not gotten the opportunity).
Note that the phrases in the brackets are optional but I think they clarify your concern better.
