I guess its not a big deal to be getting 5K in places like KL and Penang. Getting 5K in other locations in Malaysia at 28 is a commendable achievement.

A few years back i was really questioning myself why i'm doing what I do. Why I bust my butt while other people leave office right on the clock. But I kept telling myself to prove that I'm good at what I do and my revenge on my company is that when I leave it will be a big blow in the gut for them. Looking back, it all paid off as my contributions did not go un-noticed. Good old fashion hard work still pays.

he might not under 28.. but look at his demand.. USD 400/day??

For someone who's been in the O&G industry for almost 10 years.. USD 400/day is not really a big deal. The more experience you have.. the more employers are willing to pay for your expertise. Some O&G companies even pay fresh grads USD 200/day.

are u sure?? USD or in RM???

its USD.
Those who work at offshore does get such amount of allowance a day.

If not how their salary in 5 digit?

i thought about RM10k for fresh grads.. but USD200/day x 3.3, damn!! so jealous and envy with them.. but no women off shore, then they have to jealous with us

mutt, enkadirmainbola is a lady and she's working offshore.
Her salary > 10k/month.

I do have a senior fresh grad in one of service company, getting USD5k.

If you have some technical background then you should be eligible to apply for an offshore job. My colleagues all have diverse background.. ranging from mechanical and electrical engineering to industrial physics and geology.

When all else fails, it depends on your lady luck bro..

Hi Red,

Try to get yourself a degree even if you need to study part time. If what you are currently doing is BSS-related or RF work for mobile communication, you can earn 10 times your current salary in no time. But you need a tertiary qualification. A good RF engineer can earn about 15 to 20 times of your current salary but they have to work in China or Middle East. Consider this piece of advice.

what technical knowledge do i have to know? if using software like microsoft project and primavera then yes. calculating the cost of building also yes. managing site is my major study. but know nothing about offshore project and scope of work for my cert. are these required for offshore job?

Not really.. most if not all companies will provide on the job training. What I mean by technical background is having a degree which has something to do with engineering.. or sciences such as physics or geology. I'm sorry if it still seems vague but I can't think of how to explain it any better. To make it even simpler... as long as you studied some form of physics during university then you have a pretty good chance of being qualified to apply.

mutt, i suggest u come back to slim river and teach ur juniors over there rather than hunting for big bucks by joining oil and gas industry...

most of the O&G companies want fresh grads with excellent communication skills....they dont look at ur CGPA...as long as ur CGPA >3.0 is enuf...

for offshore posts, they want engineering fresh grads....any engineering discipline is eligible to apply...

no gender or race discrimination in O&G industry, everyone can work at offshore....in fact, some companies r looking for women to work at offshore....maybe they r bored because not many women work at offshore before...

i've gone through interview with schlumberger actually....they really test ur comm skills and how confidence u r in the interview....

i have learned structural design, soil mechanic and some other technical subjects. hmm..nvm la.. as my so called "friend" firvictory7 said, never hunting for O&G company. but i will never be a teacher as i dont like teacher much during my school days.. btw, i already have offered from construction company that want me to be project planner.. hmm.. but am still seeking for better company. still have a month to go..


this guy i really know him, from his nick name i dont even have to read what he's posting. u sucks big time fir

I will be graduating as comm engineer in one year time also...which advices you can give me or which companies to start with if I want to be a good RF engineer?

i heard this before that RF engineer is really a big demand nowadays.....my lecturer's husband is a freelance RF engineer where he made 40k/month.....unfortunately, i'm not interested to learn RF in college....really dumb when see so much signals.....

I can attest that my work offshore does not include 'amusing' my male colleagues. I pull as much weight as anybody else out there.

But yes.. I've only mentioned the academic qualifications so far.. you must be a team player but also be capable to lead a crew.. must posses excellent communication skills since you will be working in a multinational environment. While on the job I must be able to understand whatever it is that I am required to do when given the instructions... a misunderstanding can cost potentially millions of dollars in lost production time, revenue and equipment. Believe me the working environment is noisy as hell, hazardous and there's plenty of distractions.. often times I can't even hear what my supervisor is asking me to do above all the noise.. you might have radio/walkie talkie but interference is almost always there and you end up listening so some garbled mess.

hahaha....just kidding enkadirmainbola....relax....

which company r u working now?
