I need an honest opinion. Been made an offer, so here goes:
Current Job: Graduate Engineer, Project Management Department, Gamuda
Pros:
- Local company, less 'competition' to excel
- Exposure: Very high profile project - working on the MRT, Malaysia's biggest infrastructure project in history (at least RM 30 billion and counting), good for resume
- in Kuala Lumpur, I get to be comfortable - no rent, no groceries, my own car
- will be provided a company car and a new phone with petrol, toll, and phone bills claimable
- in Kuala Lumpur! Home, lively city, parties, amenities and facilities, everything happens here
Cons:
- Pay: RM 3500
- benefits probably not as good as new offer's
- Local company, so not as rich as multi-national, but one of Malaysia's top companies
- a different pool of people.. more, simple-minded, town folks
New Job: Contracts & Procurement Executive, Shell
Pros:
- Pay: RM ~4800
- Shell - $$
- Oil and gas - $$
- won't have a problem finding a job if you come out of Shell I suppose given its prestige?
- Shell's benefits
- networking and exposure: shell being a global / multi national company
- collective community of oil and gas workers in Miri
Cons:
- Relocation to Miri in Borneo, 2 hours flight: have to pay rent, groceries, bills, probably a car loan
- Miri, although deemed a'city', is pretty much nothing compared to KL
- not sure of what the career path/culture is like and level of exposure - small fish in a big company?
any advice?
