Advice needed!
Hi all, I have a huge dilemma.
I am a fresh grad with 1 year of working exp prior to taking my uni degree at SIT (offshore eng). Grad last year now looking for job.
Currently have an offer with a oil and gas firm (pos: ops asst) and feel that 2.3k + allowance 350 is too little for a fresh grad..
Please advice... Thanks.. Was thinking of passing up this job opportunity..
Thanks for reading.. Any advice will be appreciated..

It does sound a little low for an engineering role. Is this the first firm offer you have received? Do you have anything else in the pipeline?

Hi , it's not a engineering role per se, more like a trading Ops executive assistant..
At the moment I do not have any other offers as I have only interviewed for 3 jobs and out of these, I have only managed to proceed to the final' interview (1st interview and 2nd time went back for a written test) for this current job offer ..
As I have a engineering deg and this role is more of operations(office based). On 1 hand I feel that it will be a good experience exposure but on the other hand I was thinking that the pay wise is too little..

TBH, it sounds like a diploma role. And it doesn't seem to utilize your engineering degree at all. What industry are you looking at?

Ops assistant is a dead end job. Just clear paperwork for the traders and portfolio managers. It sounds abit low for ops even. Big banks pay their ops around 3-3.5k for fresh grad.

Thanks for your advice. Im actually looking at the oil and gas industry.. In fact, I don't really bank on finding any engineering jobs.
