Job interview:

Question: by the interviewer: If we make an offer, how long do you plan to stay with our company?
Interviewee: As long as I produce results and contribute to the company, I hope I'll be considered a valuable employee. And as long as I'm making contributions that are valued and I continue to learn and grow, I'll have no reason to leave.
(1) Does "produce results" make sense? I suspect it's a language interference, since we have "kekka wo dasu" (literally "produce results") in Japanese. Is it the same as "produce good results"?
(2) Should we omit the red "I"?

1-- 'Produce results' is natural and common and means 'good results'-- the good is taken for granted.

2-- The pronoun is necessary; otherwise it could grammatically be the contributions that are learning and growing.
