Err...don't think you managed to answer any of the three questions there?

For the avoidance of doubt....the consulatancy is one of the largest engineering consultancies in the field of oil, gas and power....its not an accounting firm!

And there is nothing more on offer as i understand....so housing, school fees, hookers (or maids), golf, car, extra flights, are all on his nickel!

ctfc

So not a management consultancy at all then. Have no idea if it's a good offer or not.

seochris

They are all pretty much the same...!

as an engineering consultant i would like to believe my role is slightly different to a management consultant.
of course i could do his job but hopefully he cant do mine

ctfc

Clearly not. For a top tier firm that would be a lousy offer for a relatively junior consultant for base salary, let alone all in. Good luck.

seochris

So what sort of package would an engineering consultant be getting?

weasel central

well it depends on how senior the role, but take out all the stuff like houses and flights etc and only talk about salary well for any medium decent senior role you ought to get about 10,000 dollars a month

seochris

So $160k does not sound that great when put like that, and its a senior role.

Blue Cat

pack it in!!

seochris

Er....why? What the problem?

Blue Cat

my apologies, I thought he meant 370,000 a month !

seochris

Well whatever it was it was a real conversation stopper.....happy you sold your car!

Blue Cat

lol thanks! going new car shopping in the morning

Lack of job security is a big issue in the ME across all sectors - many people are here today gone tomorrow and you always have to be prepared for it. Best to keep debt free - no local credit cards or loans.
