I received the offer letter from GEES as well. Idk was it a bad decision for me to take it since I left my current employment for just a "training" program. But I had always wanted to be in the field and even with knowing i will be "Cheap labour" I still took the offer. I wondering anyone that did completed GEES (and not other proteges programs), were they hired after this program ended? And if not did it really not make a positive impact in their career direction? confused.gif

There’s no definite answer to your question imo.. it depends on your mindset honestly.. was your previous job satisfactory to you? Was it what you always wanted to pursue? What about the salary? Was it waaayy more than GEES’s allowance? Did Petronas offer you something that fits your dream career’s job scope? Or at least something along the lines, it doesn’t have to be exactly what you want now cause you can always climb your way up, but also sometimes our preference and interest just change over time. If you really wanna up your chances of getting hired, then you really gotta give it your all, good performance and luck of having vacancy in the department, and you might be getting some good news soon! smile.gif

I took the job because at that time I needed a job to sustain. It was a good offer, a graduate program actually. But it was totally unrelated to my field. The salary..was wayyyyyy more. hahaahaha. I was on probation, but had permanent staff benefits. Everything was good from the benefits to salary. BUT the field was never what i wanted. I am not performing in it even after 4 months.. but it was a good experience trying something out of my field. When i got the PETRONAS gees, I didnt think twice because working in PETRONAS was always my ambition. The positoin they assigned is abit baffling, project cost controller? But its okay, I am willing to learn and try my best..

Yeah honestly if you’re okay with the job scope, then I see no problem with it.. because personally, I would rather pursue something I’m passionate about and get less wage, rather than doing something that i hate but get a lot of money from it.. cause we’re gonna be working for a loongg time, not just a year or two.. but idk this is just my opinion, one person.. a random person on the internet 😂 you should also ask someone else who you trust too, like parents or friends

May i know what is the graduate program that you’re talking about? What company? Sounds quite interesting, I might apply for that if it suits me lol..

oh..its suitable for your background IMO..MS project, P6 primavera civil engineers must know how to operate.

In your opinion, after a year of training as project cost control, would it be easy to jump to another place as project engineer? Since it is still under the project management branch?
