Hi I wanna ask for an advise.

I'm a fresh grad who just started working in local oil and gas contractor company in KL as Operation Engineer. My work rotation is 2 weeks offshore, 1 week off, 1 week office. My job during at the offshore is doing the chemical test and taking care of the operation there. My background study was in mechanical engineering. My total salary every month (basic+offshore allowance) is around rm6-7k. If basic pay alone, mine is rm3+++. Offshore allowance rm200-250 a day.

Here comes the situation,

This morning, I got a call from UMW oil and gas, and they offered me to work as trainee drilling engineer. The pay is lower than my current salary, basic rm2700/month and Im gonna need to sign contract with them for 2 years. I forgot to ask about the offshore allowance, but I heard UMW only pay rm100/day for offshore allowance.

At the first place Im not interested since thinking the offer is lower than my current salary. But during the lunch I talked with my engineers colleagues who got more experience than me, they advise me to take the offer since I can learn a lot at UMW and the drilling job got huge and great prospect in the future.

So I wanna ask opinion from u guys, should I stay in my current company, or go UMW? Please help.
