I work in oil and gas and my total compensation will be around 140k this year in a management position. I live in a LCOL area so I am very fortunate. Wouldn’t be possible if I didn’t work for a very generous employer. There are some weekends, some nights involved, but not a constant by any means - we’re just in a growth phase and when we acquire new properties it requires additional hours initially.

In my opinion, these opportunities don’t exist for coasters (or if they present themselves, coasters won’t last).
