You did submit your application to Shell, right? And to answer your question - nope, it is not a scam

Yes I did, on January. How long does it normally take for them to contact me?

long i guess.got to remember shell is a big company thus they will take some time to respond.either way, you wont loose anything, its not like they have asked you for some sort of payment etc.just wait for the good news for an interview.

thank you stefanov. yeah. i still research what the 'higher' rate dat i want to put there.

Thanks but I have to say that I'm being paranoid here, will it be possible that in the end it will turn into nothing? I mean no contact no nothing?

tq profdrahhen.!

Nah, you have nothing to lose. They did contact me after all. *excited*

wow.! this is what i want. maybe i can reconsider this range of amount.

tq noruazumi.!

No problem. But remember, these are the rates that are being charged to client. Rate that being paid to you, different thing ahhh...

yeah yeah.! so, how about rate that they being paid to me? do you have any suggestion??

Hehe... Best way is to look at how much you want per week. Then divide it by 40 hours / week. Usually, even if you are being paid by hours, there are minimum hours that you need to serve. 40 hours is the regulated hours.

ok. i got the point there. because this is my first time i got offer like this. before this, all direct hire from the company. so, i just a little bit confuse for the salary scheme. btw, tq very much.!!

If I'm Fresh Grads, I will look into RM4000 to RM6000 per month max. You can cap it at RM4000 if you are not confident enough to get that job.

is it rm4k is include offshore allowance?

Since the structure is different, you have to include offshore allowance too. Just for your reference, a fresh grad engineer in SLB gets RM3,500 basic and RM200/day offshore allowance.

You need to check how extensive you need to travel to offshore and the allocation provided. Kinda hard for me to guess, but for your case, I think RM6000 all-in is a fair amount.

Remember to ask about EPF, insurance, medical coverage and all.

tq very much.! now i have got clear information about this matter.

thanks again.!!

any reservoir engineer or production engineer here? gotta ask a technical question here

Good luck! Try to keep things open and reasonable. A good employer will definitely appreciate that.
