Great people! Can anyone in the house urgently advise me candidly on which company is more preferrable working with between NLNG and TOTAL??

I await your response, pls.

Thank you.

Working at what level? There are messengers, cleaners, sweepers, electricians, gate-men, accountants, engineers, lawyers, doctors, financial analysts, supply chain managers,---- ~≈∞ working for both companies. My uncle was even an electrician (a big man O) before his death two years ago.

You would therefore do well to specify the capacity or level.

May I congratulate you in advance, just in case you are one of the very exceptional exceptions that these oil companies run after. I mean, very many Nigerians would never refuse working for one of these coys you listed. Even some managers will be ready to let go their managerial roles to go take up entry level positions at Total . Getting offers from top oil companies like that is no joke, even if someone has a degree from Harvard or Yale (yes, quote me). Offers come by serious luck driven by the God factor.

Have you heard about the entry level 11milla/per annum matter? That is not funny, at all at all. At KPMG, for example, one would have to work for like 13-15 years before one even smells that salary level.

You uncle is a very big man, may his soul RIP.

There is no job better than a total job in this country, except to be a legislator, gov. . .etc
quote me anywhere

@Muza

Thanks.

He was really not doing badly while alive. In fact, he lived in one of the admirable estates at VI.

I for one will continue to pursue Total job until I get it, get old or become a billionaire through other means . Truly, there is no match to working for Total in Naija. Anybody who thinks otherwise should provide just an evidence, a strong one.

@ Tanimola22, may the soul of your uncle rest in peace!

The position I'm referring to is an experienced one; Instrument Supervisor/Engineer.

Salary-wise and per condition of service, kindly let me know which one is better.

I appreciate you all in advance!

@JTFFTJ Thanks. The man grew old before he died.

You were referring to experienced ke? Ye pa! Entry level gets 11Million per annum O. I would naturally guess that the pay of an experienced worker, an experienced engineer for that matter, would be much higher, at least 1.5 of the entry level pay. My friend who first hinted me on the entry level pay at Total is just an entry level junior engineer. Let's wait for experienced engineers at Total to come and blow our minds off.

@ Tanimola22: Tnks once again!

hello, did you eventually get the job? which one did you go for?

i would think total is the better company - even though coming in as experienced, the pay may be higher or less in any one of the two companies - but total is the multinational, and you generally get broader experience there, including more opportunities to travel, visas are easier to get - especially for your family - if you are employed by a multinational etc.

for now, i'd prefer smthn without the "n" in the name if i had a choice.

Definitely total. Used to be NLNG more than a decade ago...but now total is better in terms of conditions of service and opportunities and in most cases salarries for jobs of same grade.

Total E&P, as far as I know, is the highest paying at entry level in Nigeria. NLNG is also not bad; in the region of 6-8m per annum at entry level.

Total Nigeria Plc, their downstream entity, however pay around 4m at entry level.

For experienced level NLNG pays higher than Total

please fellow nairalanders, is it possible for a paramedical to work in oil and gas coy?
