I'm from the Upstream side of the business so my advice will always be tinged with some Upstream bias. The fact that I'm not that familiar to the downstream side of the business will also render my advice one sided so take it with a pinch of salt.
Listen to your heart. If your love is in design engineering then I would say go with the small company which sounds to me like a dream job.
If you stick with Petronas working in a Plant where the assign you to Kerteh/Gurun/Melaka then you will be there for a minimum of 3-4 years. I'm sure that you can request for a transfer back to KL but then again, you will need to prove to headquarters that the experience you gained in the plant can be used in other OPUs.
Good Luck.
thank you bro... ive got advice and opinion from my collegue also lots of people in industry...they all give me the same answer like you...go for the small company... but sometimes my heart is not too sure when other people which are not in industry push me to go to petronas (GF, Future in-law, school friends who work in banking, relative etcc)...
"you will regret ar if not choose petronas""petronas is glamour la""you will be rich if you work with petronas lar"
this word make me rethink my decision...but surely tonight ive make my decision to go for the small company...Petronas is my dream company but this is the second time i've reject their offer... one after SPM for scholarship...and this is the second one... btw dream company sometimes cannot provide you with your dream job rite???
tq bro... wish me well and luck with this new company...
