Anyone know how's the environment at Petronas Digital lol? Got one recruiter reached out to me but its a contract role.. currently in finance with kerang company

Dont bother. Everything is so slow and lots of office politics. Imagine reporting in and it took 3 days to get your access card. Another 2 days for them to enable building and floor access (exxon tower). I received my laptop the next week 😂. Benefits are comparable but bonus wise you better off staying at kerang or rather try for upstream.

Hope someone could share engineer's salary and benefit in CPOC.

Currently working in neighbouring country, experience mainly in onshore and considering to relocate back to KL if possible.

My friend just decided to leave after 15 years with the company. New challenge he said

Anyhow, it's been so long since I last checked this thread

Looks like the pay is quite low. Just had a chit chat with the recruiter..I'm an executive at kerang company and I just asked for 20% from my current basic..apparently its assistant manager salary range at Pet Digital..wonder how much their execs are being paid..

Kerang generally pays a lot higher than other O&G. Also, you are talking about Digital isnt Upstream. If they offer assistanr manager role then can just take it.. hehe

At young age, kerang pays the best.. as it goes older, not that big gap and sometimes they jump over to contractor as salary stagnated.

However, their EPF is very handsome as given 5 digit salary in 20s

It is up to 19% after x years.. isnt it.. dam.. should tried to join them back in my 20s.. hehe..

Also if join from fresh, before 40 guarantee over 1M in EPF too

U can do it in Pet, put more of the bonus into EPF. Pet bonus is fattest I guess in O&G.

Agree but normally money in hand, hard to move to epf.. hehe

They have contractual bonus embedded inside the offer letter (if you are permanent)

(^__^)

Hello guys. First time posting here. Most of the time just reading all the comments and get market info on the latest projects etc.

Need career advice.... I have been working with this company that core business was (now have become multiple cores) valve trading and had a Principal from Italy. Just last year the relationship ended due to several factors. This year started other agency with Principal from another country (Spain).

In this company we have Fire Fighting Division (prev principal also have FF division thus the extension in Malaysia operation) and this new division was set up with my effort (one man show), so basically Im doing everything from sales to project delivery, also after sales service.

Been doing this for 5 years and I dont feel like growing anymore. I am still on one man mission despite of having closed sales more than 3 Mil worth of contracts (not single contract), and this was risen from totally 0 sales, no client, no suppliers, no manpower. everything was sourced by myself. Of course along the way we had hire people to manage projects but that's it.

So I am thinking of changing company and pursue more satisfying career path. Please advise which ath should I take now.

To give you more clarity on my role here, I am more like technical sales cums project executive cums maintenance cums after sales cums procurement cums proposal, in Fire Fighting, Safety, and Life Saving Equipment.

Thank you in advance.

If i am you, i would try join other vendor as sales manager.
Learn the product and then diversify..
Sorry situation of yours is complicated

If you like to maintain in Sales and marketing, probably try bigger company with more diverse product if you like to expand technical knowledge. Eventually you can try pursue Business Development role for bigger company or run your own business. There are too many options.

Can try become procurement/buyer at client side

Or you can try valve trading company like Dancomech or Pantech i think. Or you can try join new project plant, a few in Pengerang

Salary will be less

Less compare to yours, haha, but package wise it depend on the scale of client, depend on your age etc. and your target, commitment etc 😊

anyone applied for BP's graduate program that's supposed to start in August? still waiting for answer or got offer already? last i asked they told me its a slow process so wondering how much longer itll take

Bumi armada graduate program has closed.
On BP, I am not aware but their pay scale is very generous for seniors

Bumi Armada hiring but they're stripping the company off. Sold off Armada Claire. Disposed all but one OSV. The Mumbai FSRU has been scrapped. Still no new FPSO contract since many years, plus the latest new per UpstreamOnline is that Total is considering other options for Cameia FPSO in Angola.

Looks like financially they okay now, but what's their core business going forward? Pivot to green energy? Still nothing to show for though.
