Hi all.

I am a recent MEng Mechanical Engineering Graduate.

Did my internship with EMEPMI upstream function. Project office based at Ranhill Worley. So got a good exposure working with Client and Consultant. I know client pay handsome, in meeting consultant always kena marah kaw2. But I observed, your learning curve is steep as u join consultant / service provider which is something I think I want to have when I begin my career.


Currently I got 3 options

1. Got an offer as Associate Engineer with EMEPMI - Upstream, Surprisingly excellent pay for fresh grad
2. Offered a Graduate Engineer position with Petronas - Not sure which dept yet, but have a feeling kena masuk Downstream due to Rapid project taking off later, interviewed my seniors started working for Petronas last year, pays lower than XOM.
3. Got invitation to attend SRD with Shell - Asked for Upstream function, salary wise fresh grad I don't know.


I am tempted to accept XOM's offer and reject SRD from Shell and Petronas. Shell is taking so long to arrange interviews and whatnots due to high volume application. At this time being I think its smart to secure a job first rather than taking risk going to SRD and god forbids, fail.

To be honest what I really want is to join SLB. Get sent to remote places, sleep deprived, work my butt off and learn as much as I could while I'm young and adventurous. But SLB has yet to respond


Need some insights from you pro people to help me make my decision. Should I settle with what I have or try even harder? By any chance anyone have contacts within SLB and dont mind sharing , I'd be glad.


Terima kasih.

Just completed my med check up. Need to blow almost 20 times for lung capacity test.


Semput oii. The final one also tak lepas limit. Haha. Luckily Exxon med team deemed me fit for work.


Anyway will join Subsurface dept. Anyone can recommend any good reading material before I report duty?


Got some time to kill off might as well study a bit on the terms and jargons. If not in first day blur saja.

Yes, mine was all the above.Plus a body cavity check by the doctor I wasn't expecting that. Glad its all over now.

I graduate Mechanical Engineering and took some energy modules in my final year. Production is certainly the thing to focus on right now I guess. Alongside well engineering.

Cheers for the recommendation.
