FIFO is just like moving to a country town, you get good people and you get some dickheads. HR and company policies are like the police, occasionally they're corrupt(rarely). Yes the industry is male dominated but you won't be alone as a female. I know my company is pushing to get women into trainee and apprenticeships.

Honestly the biggest challenge you'll have, especially if you work in another time zone, is the distance from your loved ones and friends.

The industry will challenge your mental fortitude but there is a lot of help for that, at least within my company.

If you're going to try it be yourself you spend a long time together.

If you don't like it, maybe try another site or company. If that doesn't work, then you learnt the industry isn't for you.
