Default Oil & Gas or Semiconducctor?

Should I turn down job offer from Total oil or Statschippac? Both for Engineer post. Oil and gas really hard getting in but pay wise statschippac pays much higher compare to Total Oil. I've gone over all the issues involved, and just can't decide which job I should take. But I need to make my decision fast – with so much competition for among job seekers, if I hesitate one of the employers is likely to move on to another candidate. What do I do?

Statschippac pays higher, Total pays lower and slump of oil & gas. What's the dilemma in this case?

Did you include bonus? How great is the difference?

If include bonus difference may be bigger. Statschipac still can pay bonus although not high for semicon sector, but Total probably even worse now.

Thanks everyone for constructive comments. I really appreciate.

Total is one of the best co. to work for in O&G (Tats wat heard from my peers). They are the most stable in terms of job security and good pay & bonus. Thy offer AWS and 2 months is guaranteed bonus. But oil and gas industries are fast paced and long hours.

On the other hand, Statschippac is smaller co. They offer me higher salary and AWS. But I heard once the cycle is down they forced leave. retrench etc etc. The interviewer even mentioned that the work load is 3 times higher than o&g industries. How true is that statement?

Well. I am the poster that replied you first. Total is one of the top companies in O&G. I am from O&G as well. I Can't advise you exactly but there is no free lunch. You are paid more means your workload could be more. Cant be I pay you more and lesser responsibilities.

I would probably go for Total since its the brand name also and money is not everything especially when you know the workload is higher in Statschippac. Just concerned if you can take the 3 times work load.

Hmm... I am also from the industry and everyone tells me Total is the slackest and bureaucratic culture. My friend works there and he says its very relax & work life balance and stable. The drawback is progression is very slow compared to the other bigger oil companies.

Not really. I would say Total is ranked either #5 or #6 by industry standards. The top ones are Shell & Exxon. Having said that, Total is still a good brand name.
