Hello Guys;
I am new to the forum and i would really like to get your support.
I have received a good offer from Petronas Malaysia to work for 3 years; i would like to get more exposure about the following:
- Living expenses in Malaysia (i will be with my wife and 3 kinds).
- Possibility of progressing in the company
- career development and training courses.
- Work load and how this fit with the life style balance.
Any information on the above mention topics will be highly appreciated.
Hi khaledagwa,
1. Before i can answer your 1st question, may i know where are you from? so that i can compare your country and malaysia's cost of living.
2. I believe you have been offered for a contract position. Unfortunate to say there are almost no career progression for contract staff. You will stuck in that position until the end of your contract. Unless you manage to get a better offer, otherwise you will stay at your position as long as the company require your service OR you can move to other department/Unit in the company that can give you a better offer.
Same goes to training. At the moment PETRONAS only provides training to permanent staff only. Reason being is that the company don't want to spend money on contract staff which later they can easily move to other company.
3. Work load wise i would say depending on your position. Ppl involves in project seems to have more hectic work load due to the nature of the project. As for my personal experience, I would say I'm enjoying a work life balance
