Hi all,

I just graduated in July 2013 (in Mechanical Engineering) and currently working but not in O&G industry. So I still searching for O&G jobs because that is what I am looking for.
Recently, I went to an interview for Design Engineer position at MMHE, and last Monday I got a call from them stating that the interview was a success, and they would like to offer me the position, but on a contract basis.

So now I am in dilemma, because in my current job, my position is permanent, BUT that's not O&G field.

On the other hand, MMHE offers me a Design Engineer position in O&G field, BUT it is 1 year contract.

So all sifus, can you guys enlighten me and also share your opinion on this?Should I go? Should I stay?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. Since currently HR and me just finished the commercial negotiation, I haven't receive any black and white from MMHE yet, hopefully everything will go well for me to receive the official offer letter from them. Do pray for me

Anyway, this is a bit on the salary and benefits.

Current Company (Construction) vs MMHE (as what HR and me had agreed)
RM3500 vs RM3700-3900

Surprisingly from what the HR guy told me, the benefit is quite ok I think, other than the medical benefit for MMHE just cover the employee because it is on contract basis. The rest are quite similar.

Thank you, hopefully everything will turn out good for me. When I first heard that it is a contract basis it really scares me.

Thanks for your opinion, it really helps on deciding. But now need to wait for the official letter from them, hopefully they will not change their mind and will offer me the job.

Thanks BillySteel and Herelism, your opinions are really helpful. Hopefully everything will go well for me.

Hi guys,

It has been a while since my last post. Before this I had mentioned that I got an offer from mmhe for Design Engineer (process safety) but on a contract basis. Due to a lot of support from people here, I have accepted the offer and just started working with them this week.

Anyway, here I have a few questions for all sifus.
1) Since I am involved in FEED and design verification, does it considered as upstream or downstream?

2) Do you guys think it will be easy for me to apply jobs from other companies, in case if my contract is not renewed?

3) My career progression in oil and gas as a whole, where to head in the future.

Thanks in advance guys.
