resumption with schlumberger and expecting positive result from nlng
if u request for premises i would give u, but my conclusion here should suffice u. Go to NLNG
My guy Charly15570, 1st of all CONGRATULATIONS! on ur resumption at SLB (Schlumberger). But remember dat a bird at hand is worth more than a million in the forest. So, since u're to resume at slb, i say u shud do jst dat. After all, u cant even tell whether the lng 'paro go pure'. But to compare the two lng is far better than slb. So my guy 'use ur head'. Go 4 SLB IMMEDIATELY! I have spoken!
@ davo3286 na true talk be dat, @ charly15570, bros abeg use ur head
My guy congrats, wish u all the best. To be honest i will advise u to resume at slb first. unfortunately job security at slb is nothing to write home about, however nlng pays better and has more job security besides its a nigerian company so they will not discriminate against u...my 2cents, cheers. 8)
really depends on what section in slb and if you're IM or not. If you're IM and you're in say wireline or D and M, I'll say be ready for a tough job ahead - lots of travel - but difficult. If you're in less difficult departments and the pay is good- I'll say stay in slb.
However , if you're like me , and you just want a 9 - 5 job , where you can work and have a life, I'll go for lng.
start with what u ve 1st which is shlum
first off, congrats on ur breakthrough. The question should not arise at all, go for NLNG. you are safer and the pay is better. slb has the bad habit of offloading ppl withouy notice, at Nlng, you are sure. pls pls pls, go for it,
I worked as an FS in SLB (Westerngeco) for a little over 2 yrs, and i can tell U dat SLB is good for experience, but you dont have a life cos ure always at work. If you are FE, theres better job security, but if ure an FS, its worse, cos they r the ones they let go off 1st.
But seriously, if you want a career, go to NLNG, forget abt the fact that you'll do lots of travelling in SLB, it cant add up 2 wat U'll loose, there's a better work-life balance in NLNG coupled with better growth prospects (unless ure not a performer), better incentives and fringe benefits, and you earn more.
I have a friend who had the same dilenma (LNG or SLB) some 5 yrs ago, he chose LNG, and i can tell U dat he's still dere.
If you doubt me, now that ure in SLB, ask around from pple with like 2yrs experiene, ask them how they feel about their job and the company, you'll be amazed @ wat you'll discover. A number of us including myself, lost our jobs d/t the recession, mind you, most of the layoffs this yr were not based on performance, and many more are still being dropped even as i am typing.
U can start with SLB, but when NLNG comes knocking, DONT HESITATE, cross over, believe me, you wont regret it.
I had mine a few years back, and i blew it, i didnt go 4 my interview with Total/ELF cos i was at work in SLB; so don't blow urs. Wish you all the best in making ur decision. my post is just a guideline, but it's up 2 U & wat U believe in, besides i dont have any regrets for staying in SLB, cos i was able 2 complete a masters in UK while i was working in SLB, not by distance learning (my rotation was 5wks on 5wks off), at least i have somtin 2 show 4 it.
Infact, NLNG is a place to be, a company that provides a motivating work environment to its staff,a company with one of the best HSE Policy.OH may GOD help we aspiring Trainee Operators.But guy if u've already been employed by SLB go 4 it O! accept alphadux1 response, he is a great mind speaking from experience. NLNG na our own by God's grace.Trainee Operators (SANUNKU)
@ alphadux we suppose yarn - i had almost the same experience wt slb.
my email add is [email protected]
i would rather advice my luckjy Charlie to hold Schlumberger for now and if the job at NLNG clicks insha Allahu, you could now shift to Slb. but what baffles me is that Schlumberger offers traveling opourtunity which might not allow you to make yourself available for NLNG appointments. So though i know that NLNG is better, Slb is still good... a word is enough.
@alphadux1
u have said everything,nobody need not to talk futher,my chairman you should count yourself very lucky having this opportunity cause various people out there are looking for one,experience they say is the best form of learning,thats a lie my brother,learning from other people's experience is the best form of learning,you should wait till it happen to you before you learn,he alphadux1 has told you abt his own.Just go ahead and take his advice and whether you a muslims/christian pray for God's guidance.
Take SLB and if NLNG come up TAKE IT.
ALL THE BEST and if you know anybody that needs a young engineer(mechanical) thats hungry to learn contact me please o,[email protected] is mail add and my mobile is 08038291925
in the first place congrats..everybody has spoken and i bielieve for sure u will be able to make ur conclusion frm all the suggestions and advice u av gotten but remember...ur destiny lies in ur hand cos u r the architect of ur fortune or misfortune...a step u take now has a lasting impact on ur prospect so be wise and pray fervently..may God help you...I av spoken...

Guy 1st accept what u have at hand, take it one after the other. when NLNG coms u go 4 it if it works, man u cross over datz it. u don't need to ask too much qeustion on this. congrats n good luck.
My advise: Since SLB has called u, start with them first while waitin for NLNG. They say "A bird in hand is worth ten thousand in the bush" Once u hear from NLNG and its perfect, just move over to them fast fast without wasting time. They aint partial in their recruitment. They recruit based on merit, I am talking from experience. 2me, NLNG is the highest paid coy in Naija (even more than any oil coy) with job security. They balance work with life, infact everythin is just perfect there. Really, its a place to be. I have a frend in Schlumberger who started compalinin of so much work right from the very first day he started working there till today (he's like 2yrs or more now with SLB)!!!
u can go to hell
