I am an Engineer in the oil and gas industry and would love to find a remote position. What type of positions should I look up? Seems like the only thing available is for IT/software related engineers.

I’ve been an O&G mechanical engineer for 15 years. I don’t see a lot of remote jobs for this industry. There are usually aspects of the job that require a physical presence at the office/shop/field.

I don't know if you need to change the titles you're looking up, but you should be looking at remote job boards or filtering the job boards you're looking at for remote-only roles. I think some energy-focused companies may offer remote roles because of the environmental benefits.

Thanks for sharing

I have worked with companies who hire remote "O&G" jobs, and these guys are more like SME's which the company has no capacity to hire full time. They were Mechanical Reliability, Asset Integrity types who need to rubber stamp reports and conceptual studies

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.
