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!

QUOTE(supersound @ Jan 27 2016, 01:13 PM) 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.

QUOTE(TheReaderReads @ Jan 27 2016, 01:26 PM) 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  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. This post has been edited by mingosaur: Jan 27 2016, 02:58 PM
