What role are in you? For me 150k is definitely possible for 4 years of experience. I am in risk management.

Any reason why you left the role in O&G? Right now it is hard for me to leave because the next employer has to pay me over 110k for 4 years experience.

I left my job to take my master full time. So far no plan to go back O&G so the struggling. I believed the pay cut was due to the fact tat i am starting fresh in my new role and i have hit the upper salary range of the new position.
I am not sure whether jump within O&G still work for you as i know some oil manufacturing MNC have frozen pay for 3 years straight. Unless you switching out of O&G and to other big MNCs with great benefits, they probably will be able to afford you. I have friends jump to JP as technical analyst with no pay cut, another one jump to P&G with 20%++ pay inc, all with 2 years experiences. Not to mention the semicon company M (this year fresh grad with 1st class honors starting basic pay is 4k). It really depends whether your skill is transferable..
P/S: all me and my friends are not from IT

I left my job to finish my master full time, no plan to go back O&G so i have this struggle. I believed the pay cut was due to the fact tat i am starting fresh in my new role so i have hit the upper salary range for this position.
Not sure if jump within O&G still work for you as i know some oil manufacturing MNC freeze pay for 3 years straight. Unless you switch out from engineering, those big MNC with great benefits they probably can afford to hire you. One of my ex-colleague switch to technical analyst in JP with no pay cut, and another one to P&G supply chain with 20%++ jump, all with 2 years experience in O&G
