I recently being offered a position in a competitor company. They are offering a huge salary increase than what I am having now. Initially, I thought of taking the offer due to huge amount of cash being offered.
Then I rejected the offer. I had a bad feeling. After having conversations with the one of the bosses in the company, I am lucky for not going there. There were people who did take the job before me, were terminated after 3-4 months into the job. The reason was, they were not performing the to the level expected.
Just an advice guys, before leapfrogging onto other companies, make sure to know some if not most of the details as it could backfire. Furthermore, business isn't so good these days. So, be careful, my fellow grease monkeys.

QUOTE(kaw2kaw @ Jun 30 2015, 12:12 PM) Hi guys,sifu,O/L I'm a fresh grad and just started my career for about 4 months in this oil and gas industry. Im working with a contractor company as an engineer and sometimes my work not even specific to one job. I am the one to do the drafting works, im the one to do the scheduling work. Its not that i dont like my work. I learn a lot from this. Learn how to use the Microsoft project, learn to use the autocad which i never use before. And the salary is not that much. Sometimes i just feel like jealous with some of my fresh grad frens who work with consultant company with higher salary. Did i make a right decision to stay here for a little longer or should i find new company? i need some advices from u guys.might be some of u have the same problems as me or have experienced this before   First of all, what is the nature of company's business? I am on the fence on this one to be frank. What are your objectives? What are your aims? |

QUOTE(kaw2kaw @ Jun 30 2015, 01:10 PM) Im working with a company that provide electrical and instrument services especially for oil and gas(offshore n onshore),chemical plant etc. I was a mechanical engineering student and to be honest i am so much interested to be in piping(piping engineer). I dont mind to start my career back as mechanical engineer if i am going to be offered to join fresh graduate programme especially in piping First thing's first, DO NOT EVER GET JEALOUS WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES. Yes, they are paid more but we don't even know the crap they has to face/deal with. Secondly, going by the market nowadays, I would say most companies are freezing recruitments due to lower oil price and it is quite risky for them to replace "experienceds" with newcomers. Although, that may not always be the case, bear in mind they still practice LIFO (Last In First Out). For me personally, I would say stay. Work your way upwards and learn as much as possible. There will be a right time to move on. |

QUOTE(feekle @ Jul 1 2015, 08:57 AM) Observe a friend of mine who is pipeline engineer on contractor side, what they do is pipeline maintenance (blasting + coating), wrapping using pro assure (if i got it right), sectional replacement & pigging. Not to difficult to do in the eyes of the observer, paperwork wise i have no idea lah.. Sums it up perfectly.  Might be a lot of paperwork because you have to manage and arrange here and there. Was offered for this position once by Petronas and I rejected it. |
