Hey guys, would just like your humble opinion on career and the current O&G situation. I'll be receiving an offer for a grad position in well engineering and would like to know what are your opinions in taking up this job? Currently working in a consulting firm with a decent pay of 3.5k not including allowances.

I'm highly interested in the MNC firm so changing from one industry wouldn't be a problem, just worried on how the oil crisis would affect my work and job progression the next couple of years.

Cheers!

Is it under contract basis? And is the company having their own well or supplying manpower under contract only?

Hey buddy, it's for a permanent grad position. There's this requirement to obtain a Master degree in Well Engineer which is also part of the program. So sounds like a work-study kind of job. I do believe there would be 2 exams spread across the 4 year study course which I assume is compulsory.

If u have nothing to lose, just go for it. Plus u are getting sponsored. Most likely there will be bonds too. How long will u be bonded to this company if u are to be sponsored by this company?

Go for it  thumbup.gif

Mhmm... Being bonded is another thing hahaha. Hopefully not too long... It plays a part in my decision to switch, but not that significant. Mainly I think I'm worried about job security but as a freshie I shouldn't be too concerned with this should I?

FYI, I just graduated at the end of 2014 so yeah, I'm pretty new in the workforce.
