I'm from the O&G industry, and what I can say is that the pay packages are competitive. I don't know exactly how much signed-on officers earn but I would think the O&G industry pays better. If you perform well, the sky's the limit in MNCs.
Do you have any figures to share perhaps? I have an interview with Shell in a few days time. I would really love to join them but my concern is that my degree as an Electrical Engineer might not enable me to be versatile in the O&G industry. Other than that I am keen.
