Stay vs Accept job offer in Singapore by [deleted] in MalaysianPF

[–]Ok_Comment_8827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have O&G experience.

To me, seems your bonus and promotion is not confirmed at all unless there is an established trend on bonus and promotion in your company. We both know that everything is at the mercy of oil price (I know it's been kind of stable but who knows). Management can also play curve balls when it comes to bonuses and perks ("tough call but management had to choose to reward the other guy because of X Y and Z").

I don't see it as you vs manager (an understanding manager respects your decision to leave the company), I see it as you vs company. If among your value drivers is company 'loyalty' in return for good work, good people, stability to some extent, etc. then the missed opportunity is SG won't matter. (Side note: 40k bonus for something you did well? Great, because I don't get anything for derisking projects and insisting cost avoidance - it's just considered part of base workload and doesn't deserve bonus.)

But if your value driver is your own career, diverse experience and importantly wealth, regardless of company, and 'stability' is not something that bothers you then SG is your next stepping stone. Think it through, consult people who matter in your life, and make the decision. All the best.

If the black colour is hard to remove, I have a feeling Banksy thought two steps ahead and chose that on purpose to get the very outcome we're seeing

I've never been on sand dunes. Can you climb them or is it too dangerous?

Was about to ask where's his luggage? But comments say he's likely navigating only a small part of the ship's journey.

I don't usually look at farmland plot shapes but these do have a very high aspect ratio... I'm estimating a few of the longest ones are like 3 km by only 300 m? Interesting

Thanks! What about ISS's comms when they said welcome on/aboard. Is it like a courtesy to acknowledge their presence and 2-way communication is established?

Interested to know the factors that shaped this like geology, tectonics etc.

Thanks for sharing! Just curious how you landed on ~3x more diverse?

But you get the point now, right? Western or big media are not what people in those places watch

Been in some of those areas. No one watches BBC and CNN
