Slugger926: I should definitely try your approach on large petroleum companies. I could settle for less than 20%... ;)
BJC: thanks for the site, the most helpful!
Did anyone here worked for Sakhalin Energy Ltd. or their contractors?
John: I am Canadian. Our government also loves to tax regardless whether you work at home or abroad. I haven't thought about the overtime pay, it is a very good point!
ckenny: Thanks for the input! I will likely turn the offer down unless they agree to raise the compensation significantly.
the location is in West Africa, the nature of work requires extensive traveling around this region.
It sounds exciting, but compensations seems to be too low...
I have an offer to work overseas for ~4000 US monthly + free accomodation, transport and etc.
Is this reasonable at all?
By the way I am geotech, MS, 3+ years of experience and I have a family that will follow me wherever I go.
Thank you for your tips!
Hello folks,
I have 3 years of experience in geotechnical field (non North American) and 3 years of experience in computer programming (North American)
I am practically finished with my graduate level degree - M.A.Sc in CEng (geotech.) and considering possible career options.
I want to persue...
