Hello, who can help me?
I am interested in knowing how much an oilfield engineer earns. I currently have a job offer from a medium-sized company, but as a recent graduate, I don't know if the pay is adequate.

First, it would be good to see what type of offer they are making you, beyond that I recommend you take it, the oil labor market is not easy at all, so if you have the opportunity, take it and learn by creating an experience.

As a petroleum engineer, job offers tend to be very good from the beginning, it would be good if you could provide us with the offer I made to see if it is a good option.

The base salary of a petroleum engineer goes from $90k onwards, many companies offer more than the minimum to retain you from the beginning, it is a closed but very competitive market.

The salary depends a lot on the place where you are going to work in the USA, the place that pays the best petroleum engineer is Texas, so everything over $100k in Texas can be a good option for you.

It would be good to know the salary they offer you, but on the other hand, medium-sized companies are good to start because you can learn to do many things, as a petroleum engineer in a large company you learn to do one thing very well, but in medium-sized companies, you learn to do more things. because you are more used than you usually are.

There are many variables that influence each other, whether you will be a field engineer or not, and also the place where you will be employed, but in the same way, the minimum for an entry tanker is around $90k.

Have you checked on Glassdoor? They have all kinds of information when it comes to this, perhaps you will find what you're looking for there!

Generally speaking, the pay of an oilfield engineer depends on their experience, the company they work for, and the location. An entry level oilfield engineer can expect to earn around $50k to $75k per year as a basic salary.

In the beginning it might not be too much, probably around 50-60k, but with additional years of professional experience and certifications, salaries can increase up to $100k or even higher depending on the size of the company.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
