Why do you feel wages in Petronas is not competitive in the region?

If so, which Ong company gives the best rate?

Thanks. Would love to know.

ps. Not to say doubt you but just want to know where to go myself

Thanks aurora, excellent reply.

Its pretty good rate actually working with Petronas. You get paid by the hour. The perks on the job is that they give you this polo shirt uniform which is green in colour. But you have to wear your own slacks or pants.

RM 4 / hr i think. Not sure if they increased the pay recently. Some places needs you to work night shifts (if 24 hours).

Hope the info helps those interested to join them.

I just had dinner the other day with a bunch of non-bumi proffesionals working at Petronas. Hmm... What this means a?

Don't know if you guys mingle with Petronas Carigali staff. Or the other company Carigali-Hess. RM 100k/mth anyone?

Here is the deal la guys and girls, you see this... we have a preference for bumis to hold top posts but if they are not technically capable then we get a situation like Public Mutual fund management team; money makers- Non-bumi oriental members, admin team- bumi.

So for bumis there is a chance to prove yourself (if you wanna take the additional work with no difference with your pay) or just go take the admin job. Money makers in Petronas are still hired based on what they do- money making (geosciences ke, drilling ke, etc...).

Myanmar posting working with Exxon. Cheers. Its basically whatever the locals are getting (numerical wise) but the currency is in USD. Plus add in some wellsite hardship allowances again numerical wise same but currency in USD. Not really difficult to hit once you realise RM is the shitz... a lot of well travelled oilmen know this
