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.

So as a 30ish yo with a government/PE/tech background and CIPM/CIPP… I’m finding privacy work is just much easier and interesting than other kinds, but still pays plenty well.

Is it too late/inadvisable to go to law school to specifically aim for privacy work?

I just find some firms are unwilling to entertain the idea that anyone but a lawyer has anything relevant to contribute in this space…
