Around 2 weeks.
Even if you get a verbal offer it takes a hell long time to get the offer letter send out to you, so make sure you remind them to send it out.
Once you signed then another thing you have to worry is your start date, they TEND to push the date either earlier or later, request an early start date and try your best to learn and network during the training school.

OFS-1 in KL mid-Feb I heard.

Not sure about consulting but Schlumberger do have a division dealing with o&g software and that division do take freshies, it is more towards providing software supports to clients.
Pay is above average and office based.
No problem moving to operators especially the small to mid-size.

I think for freshies the only role you will get that goes to offshore is FE.
