rm4k for freshy?!! contract or permanent??
is it good to start ur career in shell, if they were to give a fresh grad rm4k, i bet that guy will stuck in shell forever?
i mean who else can offer that salary even if u have 1 or 2 years experience?

Is there any good opportunities in the petrol sales category instead of O&G? Is there a big difference between working in Shell itself or Shell Petrol Sales?

my coursemate graduated and got his first job in shell RM4.5k (SITI in cyber) as a permanent. Anyway he left liao, initially i dun understand but now i get it liao.

When I was there, morning come in at 10am just for meeting (if no meeting i will come in after lunch) then lunch from 12pm - 2pm. come back sometime go sleep a while or go check email do some work. around 4pm go play pool or pingpong with friends. 5pm+ go back seat check email chat with friends and spam lowyat forum. after that go gym, yoga, (most of the activities start at 5.30) sometime my whole day spent spamming in lowyat forum.

so back to your question, is it good to start ur career in shell, judging from my daily routine in shell, do u think it's a good start in ur career in such a way? (fyi i'm a 3rd Party Contractor with them earning rm1.2k daily rate... though high pay but i left cos i was suffering by not doing anything. )

but u were 3rd party contractor...how about those from IT graduate program?
if got nothing to do, y they pay so high?

4.3k basic for fresh grads.. permanent. Excluding all other goodies.

NOt sure about IT graduate program. My coursemate left because he was outsourced to EDS.

Btw, did u get call for IT graduate program? I'm not sure whether such thing still exist or not coz in the office I hardly see any fresh grads liao. Most of the perms there are converted from 3PC.
Why they pay high is : Market Rate ma.. else how to get good talent work there. but yeah quite free... learning curve is like zero "

then ur coursemate resigned and get another job with a cutoff in his pay?
i just heard that they are hiring for IT grad program.

anyone knows the details of the petronas package for the new fresh staffs? please share

That's not always true. It depends on the type of qualification and experience the Master mariner has, i.e. supply boats, anchor handling, drillship etc. DP certification would probably add 50 percent extra on the day rate.

That aside, the color of one's skin also determines the size of the pay cheque. You gotta live with that.

USD500/day is pretty decent for a Malaysian master mariner.

nah skin colour doesnt play that much of a role unless its to join a small company, but the senior mariners know each other thus can jack their own rates. heck my dad is a retiree and on occasion if he wants to go out for a bit he gets between usd 1k - usd 1.5k a day. Cos no.1 his name is very welcomed in the industry and confirm to get approval, he was the head of marine in Shell anyways in his heyday. and Now i'm in his shadow.. haiz more than 10 yrs he left shell and still ppl expect to be like him but sorry lah I made it very clear from the beginning, i'm not like him, i aint no goody two shoes I'm evil and I swear like no tomorrow lolx. I guess some ppl get it now. lol

have you guys heard of global industries ?
it is another company located in KL which is about O&G as well.. i would say working there is quite good actually in terms of benefits and environment (Especially if you are an experienced one)

hi guys,
anybody got any contacts for working in O&G Companies?

Or anybody in O&G companies such as Shell, are they hiring? =)

do pm me yeah.

anyone work with GUtor ? How's the company doing and benefits there??

any inside contact?

i believe that skin colour only apply to company other than UK vessel. coz UK already standardize seafarer salary for those sailing under UK flagged vessel.

yep. usd500 per day is the normal rate for malaysia company for captain n chief eng.

Anyways, I was argueing with my Head of marine earlier and welll guess what? He challenged me to get cv's of malaysian master mariners then only talk about rates, the problem i'm having here is that the current masters we have are from myanmar or indonesia and crap man so many problems, main thing is hte language barrier >.< SO any masters around do send me ur c.v.'s then see how lah k?

Hi guys,

I am working with a local consulting firm (O&G design Consultant)... kinda curious, where are the big money? i don find it here, and no offence, i am really into the business looking for $$ and of coz doing my job well.. as far as i can see, those working for big big service players that get a better share of the pie...

too bad one of my malaysian capt already sailed. maybe you can find more malaysian master in MISC.

only for seniors buddy, im with consultant also, u need to jump employer frequently to demand
