Thanks in advance.

The oil majors and big construction companies are on massive headcount cuts now. Surprised that they would even be hiring now. Do moderate your expectations since you are a fresh grad.

Hi there, appreciate the quick response but i'm not going into oil/construction companies it's a consulting job pertaining to commodities risk. I second your opinion on the massive headcount cuts though, it's pretty bad. Even the MA intakes have decreased in a heartbeat.

To better times ahead!

I would advise against joining the O&G industry now as times are really bad. If you still die die want to try you luck, then don't settle for anything less than 4.4k. Reason being that it is extremely unlikely you will be able to get any bonus for the next few years, so basic is all you will have.

If you go in average like the other industries, you will end up much lower than even civil service which runs on 3.5-4k x 16 months package.

wah not bad!

Anyone heard about SBM offshore? Are they good?
