There are 2 groups of people in oil and gas that I find make generous salaries. First is the traders, who generate huge profits for the companies and see some of that back in their bonus. Mid to high 6 figures p.a. is common. Second group is the blue collar refinery workers, who get various OT and allowances that pay them well despite relatively low educational qualifications (eg. degrees not necessary).
Based on sector average, agree that O&G pays very well. Finance and banking professionals also earn good wages, but really depends on your seniority and skillset. Retail banking for example isn't so lucrative.
