Is working in a oilfield worth it? Was offered 2x of my salary, but i have to move to the oilfield (small city) and live there for a month, then i get month off. (6 months u work , 6 months you got off) . All expenses are covered when you live there. But not sure how hard it will be to live half of the year in a remote place. Anyone had such experience?

Soo, you take 2x salary to work 1/2 of the time, am I reading right?
Obviously for half a year your life will be close to zero and you will have the opportunity to learn how to play cards and dart.

Depends what you are looking for atm, romantic relationships and to some extent social life will be hard. If anything it would be on pause whilst you do this.

When you have your month off, beware that your friends will still be working so you will need to fill in the daytime with other things.

I had multiple rotation roles in the oilfield prior to consulting. 3 weeks on 3 weeks off. It is very common in the oilfield. Challenging with a family, but if you are relatively unattached, it can be a great opportunity. Zero expenses during your time on, and during your time off, you can completely disconnect, travel, enjoy life etc.

Worth it from terms of money for sure. Like someone pointed out, very common in oilfields. If your family is okay then feel free to take it up. If you are single give it a shot!

How much?

Is it still in management consulting? Or engineering consulting?

2x the pay for half the hours?

If you don’t take the job, I’ll take it for you.

Where is the career? That wage disappear as soon as you go back to town
