I've returned to bolehland permanently. No more rotation and field work. Jadi salesman. Lol. Cashing in on the REP perks... Not much perks but at least better than nothing. Legit taxpayer now.

Times are hard... Some buddies of mine were laid off in middle east North Africa. Do not quit before securing a signed offer letter.

Good luck to all of you...Young and old alike.

FYI... I quit quite some time back. Before the oil slump.

I applied before the amendment. Previously was 2 CKD duty free and usual 15% flat rate income tax for 5 years...minimum 6yrs working abroad.

But now it's 1 CKD or CBU and same 15% income tax....now minimum 8yrs with degree.

REP

Haha. You under the REP also? Sakit lah the tax...even with 15%. Not used to "donating" to the gomen.

I worked 8yrs abroad... U 7yrs qualify for Rep.
Haha... Time to settle down eh. For me want to spend more time with kids. Growing up fast... Scared missing out.

yep. the usual and no comm...just salary and yearly performance bonus.

somewhat related to workover...more to data acquisition solutions.

really? lol. PM me. see if you get a prize for getting the right answer.

yeah. meetings... updates. get more wells... get more jobs. layan customer... take them lunch. minum. also need to approach new/potential clients for possibility of business. Lots of presentations to do.

prefer this than stuck in office. since I used to be in the field... now still can be mobile and proactive.

Yes, plenty of ppl being laid off...weatherford is letting go 20% of their head count. and other companies too.

Baker is still hiring junior field engineer for some product line, but not in malaysia.

you guys can try the job sites like oilcareers and rigzone. there are plenty out there. Beautify your CV, create an account and apply away. And also update your LinkedIn profile. it helps.

Really? how many will be issued?
