Actually 6 months is quite long. But some OnG company still practise such policy. I think there are alot of opportunity in petronas. Its a place you can learn and develop skills. i heard they provide lots of training. And when the time's right or you feel you're worthy you can start thinking on joining other companies with the current background achieved.

*seventh7* utpian? cause I recalled seeing such name before in the IRC.

I use to have the similar mindset during my studies years. But once i'd started working with them, I'd realized that there are some whom posses capabilites far beyond our reach. Don't generalized bumi as a so called puppets in an organization. For them to come up to that level, they too have their skill and competence. Yes they have earn my respect.

sounds more like 6 sigma. Have you tried asking the pay? the pay should be good

They give good benefits.

hate to break your heart, but if you decide to work for petronas and wish to marry your colleague, It would not be possible to keep the job. New policy imposed. Heard it applies to subsidiaries too.

wow E1 salary. Btw, where will you be working if you don't mind me asking
