hi, im a electronic engineering student graduating in the coming october. i have been interested in the oil and gas industry for quite some time.
i prefer to work offshore as my hometown is in penang.
my question is what are the jobs based offshore? and what are the companies besides shell, petronas and exxon?
i know now is only beginning of march and i am expected to graduate in october but can i start to apply now?

lets say if i work in the oil and gas industry for sometimes, i have to work in o&g for the rest of the day? will there be any career prospect if i decided to migrate to say electronics manufacturing in penang?

i consider this because my hometown is in penang

Exxonmobile came to my college and gave a talk. their working routines is like work 2 weeks off 2 weeks. does this implies to the other companies as well?
