if you are sporty then be an athlete... play football in premier league

nowadays more and more Malaysian are quitting Petronas and joint company in Middle East because of the payslip difference.

The funny thing is more and more expatriates come to Petronas because of the same reason.

Simply Petronas value others better then their own people

University qualification is good enough for entering this industry. You have to be more specific which department suits you better before deciding taking some courses...

and again, all courses will be paid by the company as part of your development plan, no need to bother looking for yourself

yes it is possible.
But preference will always fall to those who had G&G background.
You might be fitter elsewhere depends on your personal background.
Any specific reason why you choose to be a geophysicist? other field might be more rewarding to you

dude... its all about the $$$$$$... its all about the dum dum dududum dum

if you are good with sales and marketing. service companies are the best place for you.
you just need to get knowledge first about the equipment and services being offered by your company, and then sell them to the client.

no engineering certs or background required for this position. ...

one funny thing i find is...most of the personnel on this position are now being took over by beautiful girls .. they sell better than men. LOL

School quality is decent. Most of them are following international standard, you just need to choose which system are you/ your kids interested in? 35K is surely not enough. Prepare to pay for more other than tuition fee, such as books, uniforms, excursions, extracuricullars and so on...

Housing 150K will get you average standard in Abu Dhabi. This is the limit number, it doesn't mean this 150K into your bank account. you can choose a lower cost apartment like AED 100K, but you wont be able to save the rest.
The money will go straight from the company to the owner of the apartment, for example you choose an apartment for 120K then the company will pay only 120k to the owner. you cannot have the 30k margin.. its not for you..

I received the same offer from them last year, but considering the whole package, this is surely not the best one available in the market right now. Some jobs in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and offcourse in Malaysia are actually much better. And they are closer to home.

I agree with Azraeil. Use ADCO as your stepping stone.
This company is somehow dominated by Egyptian and Indian nationals, if you are not from both then don't dream too high.

Preference will always fall to the UAE nationals, and I've never seen any Malaysian having the priority for high level management in this group. Malaysian as well as other south east Asian will always be the last choice. sad but true..
