Collintos, thanks a lot. I asked for reasoned opinions and you took time out to give me just that. It is really appreciated.

Wish you the very best in your AC.

For those who are setting the ball rolling today, all the best.

I guess congratulations can start rolling in.

Though your question isn't so specific as per what is a priority for you. My view is that your choice depends on what you think is a priority for you.

To be realistic LNG has a Flat structure thus career progression may not be as fast as compared to other IOCs. This is because of its span of coverage (i.e Nigeria) and the company's shareholding/Ownership structure. Though Nigerianization and restructurings has helped a bit to open-up some top managerial positions for direct LNG staff, career progression across board may not be still comparable with other IOCs. Perhaps IOCs have operations all over the world making it easy for faster growth and transfers, thus creating multifaceted career paths for staffs. However opportunities for secondment to other LNG companies of other countries may be available in LNG.

As for pay, the two companies are in similar industry though LNG majors on gas. Pay package for both is competitive and within reasonable range of each other depending what your definition of reasonable range is . But must say, Its worth it men, you wont like to miss it

Concerning conduciveness of work environment and work challenge, as you know LNG is a continuous operation process plant runned with a state of the art technology. Thus there are many news things to learn, and challenges that keeps you on your toes monitoring the plant to optimize production and add value. However, I am of the view that other IOCs operating in varying environments and climates with new challenges in different oil and gas fields may be more challenging. So you can tell what is expected as compared to being in the LNG environment. LNG looks better from my view in terms of a conducive and caring work atmosphere. This can be challenged with an alternative opinion.

Conclusively, I will say clearly define your passion and let your choice be in tandem with your passion at the long run as that is what drives fulfillment and satisfaction. Moreso its about excellent delivery in your assigned job/duties. Career decision should be above money, comfort, challenge, relaxation etc, Its all about where can you make utmost and outstanding contribution. This factor should overrule all others highlighted above.

This is the little I should say, other peoples opinions are welcomed.

In the same vein, Wish everyone all the best and success as the #Cooperation of the Titans not really Clash of the Titans# begins
