hi guys,
i am sharing my 14 yrs experience in oil & gas industry in Malaysia
current estimated market rates as follows:-
Petronas/ Oil Company
fresh grade: starting salary at about RM4,300 per month
medical - unlimited
housing loan
car loan
yearly company bonus: 2 to 5 months salary per year (non fixed)
performance bonus: between 4-6 months salary - of coz depends on performance la
potential overseas assignment - up to USD500 per day allowance - depends on location i.e.. Turkmenistan or Iraq etc.
work culture: - more efficient than government - but still far behind compared to super major oil co i.e. shell/exxon/bp
estimated 2011 salary range:
senior executive - 5 to 10 yrs exp- up to Rm10k per month
manager - 10 - 15 years exp- up to Rm 20k per month
senior manager - 15 to 20 years exp- up to Rm30k per month
general manager - 20- 25 years exp- up to Rm40k per month
Petronas salary used to very low, but now very competitive compared so super major oil co.
but is it better (overall) condition, because it is still a GLC, unlike most international co, you can almost never get retrenched or sacked even if you are super low performance in petronas
then you can bragged yourself as being the wealthiest & only malaysia company in 500 fortune list.
but too bad when they are overseas, their Local reputation could not help them to perform well & they are generally looked down by almost all international oil companies and also major international contractors.
how do i know all this? because i used to work for petronas for 10 years, and now i am working with an international oil & gas consultant with several overseas assignment in middle east & europe.
