Guys. If i start as technical assistant, its good for me or not? How much is the expected salary?

Where? Usually a TA is for non-degree holder so you cannot expect a high salary.

Added on November 25, 2012, 9:26 pmmyhug .... I remembered you were one of the loyal poster in this thread and finally managed to get a position in O&G so get as much experience as you can (go overseas if you have the opportunity). I suspect your line of work involves a lot of hands on and hard work (meaning, dangerous line of work right?) so once you're ready to settle down ... get a girl la and with your experience I'm sure you'll be able to move around in the industry. trust me once you get 5 years in O&G, people couldn't care less about your degree or whatever ... they will only be interested with the skill you acquired on the job.

I thought kids education is still not that expensive compared to college/university tuition fees.

My company pays GBP26K a year per child for Boarding School. A lot of the Malaysian here sends their kids to Boarding school in Bahrain/UK/Switzerland/US/Canada. The one I'm looking at will cost me RM125K per year per child .... that will be difficult to swallow if no company is willing to pay for that.

So lucky that company support education for your child.

i got an interview for TA in onyx kl. Around 2k is too high?

Part of the package offered but once you take the education assistance, you will be stuck with the company for the remainder of your children's education. Now, if a company in Malaysia is willing to cover some of the expenses, we can sit down and discuss.

Wanna ask, is giving a 2 months notice before leaving a O&g company a norm practice?

Heh heh heh .... off course we need mud specialist. Seah got his extension (he's 60 already) so he'll be staying another year (well that was in March so another couple of months) and I suspect he is going to get another extension .... no one to replace people meehhhh ...

Added on November 26, 2012, 12:18 pmTell me about it .... some even have to top up because the Boarding school especially in the US costs upwards of USD45K, tu tak campur the nominal monthly allowance lagi tu. Lagi mahal dari University.

myhug, yes boarding school is like Asrama Penuh la .... but not like the one we used to experience la, no Ikan Jaket or Hati Lembu kind of thing in the dewan makan heh heh heh ....

Wah bro...no companies back in Msia actually offers you expatriate package? Maybe got lyk 80k one month oso damn good di...hahaha, can survive well if staying in not so high cost area lyk in KL

Passport Malaysia so no expat package .... I've told a lot of companies that if that is the case then they can shove it up their fanny. They spend millions bringing expats to Malaysia but when it comes to local Malaysians, well you just have to send your kids to normal school lah .... screw that.

Contracts ada la offer from 80-120K a month but it will be short term etc and will not be conducive for the family.

wow boss , rm100k+ per month

Yeah...seems some companies in Msia still having the "overc ppl more talented" mindset, whereby Malaysians themsevels are very talented...just look at the amount of Malaysians overc lol.

Yeah, so in the end, the questions that most headhunters will ask is "Do you want to come back to Malaysia?" instead of "We have a package that you will definitely want to review" ... so Kalau nak balik, join la kitaorang ..... pathetic ...

seems like bro azraeil here becomes a hot stuff. haha
