Local man is just making sense upandan

Lol

mosgoon:
very true...top oil companies are generally very good places to start a career.. Plus the nnpc ecosystem would come with a lot of exposure that would lead to greater things.. Plus it's a federal government work . A slight advantage on its own.
lol, reading your other comments, you're a very funny guy.

Waiting to hear testimonies from those interviewed in Panel 25. I rep Computer Science.

Agreed, resume should not be more than 2 pages but it is not restricted to GT neither is a CV restricted to Exp. hires. An experienced hire can decide to tailor his/her qualification, skills and experience to a specific role with a 2 page resume, while some GTs who are privileged to have participated in some extracurricular projects can have a robust 5page CV.

Tnkq

Money money money everywhere. Only money..

I know its important but eeeeeh its too much talk.

Atleast haven't you tried to think through what trainings are available and how it helps shape your professional life?

Even GT with no experience still dey talk say money is small. Choi.....What a people!

Jarus:


I have a friend that, in 10 years, got to a level in Shell it ordinarily takes 15 years to get to due to exceptional performance.

A guy from a very poor home in the "village". Struggled to pay 17k school fees in our final year in university. That's why I always encourage people to try their best and not listen to all this talk about connection in recruitment.

Now a very very big boy.

Happy for him. That's how life is.

That's truly exceptional considering that Shell isn't famous for fast progression. If that your friend was in the multinational service space, he may already be regional VP of a product line. However, service companies will chew and spit you out in a minute regardless of your achievements. IOCs offer better job security but a slower rate of progression. It's a trade off really.

That's true. But Shell has a special career lane, can't remember the name, for high performers they see as the future of the company. He was identified as one within 2 years. He was seconded to an European country for 2 years for more exposure.

You're right on multinational service space - the McKinseys and Goldman Sachs of this world.

hmmn, you are right sir Jarus. McKinsey.. For those interested in oil and gas and consulting with the bulk of the interest in consulting should try out McKinsey. Very competitive. That their PST, PEI.. Very tough. Their Partners are very cool people though from my chats with them after my last stage partner interviews.

The only problem with them if someone here is comparing with NNPC, is that they would suck the life out of you lol.. Meaning it's a very stressful, high pressure environment.. And while they pay very well in Nigeria for entry level - also called business analysts (albeit less than BCG, Bain in Nigeria alone when compared within the big 3), they still pay less than NNPC for entry level and NNPC should be far less stressful lol. But the international recognition you would get is up there as they are among the top management consulting firms in the world along side BCG, Bain.. Then the other tier follows.. The strategy&, Booz.. Etc

Once again if you like oil companies but love management and consulting more, McKinsey is up there referring places to begin a career

McKinsey no be here o

It is easier to get NNPC, even Shell, than McKinsey.

Extremely competitive with very tough recruitment process. But easily one of the best places to work, globally.

mosgoon:

Lool, ok reply my convo on pm

Jarus:

haha. Exactly. I put in work during the recruitment mehn.. Had 3 final partner interviews after passing the tough PST. Cool place though.. But too stressful. Assuming I was still interested in management consulting would have stayed... My interests diverted

Assin ehn, I even know a guy that got into MIT from Nigeria and didn't get into McKinsey, though he got to the last stage, a crazy scenario played out. McKinsey can be crazy. A 2-2 guy in my set got in whereas people on 4.9 didn't get in

Even graduates of MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Caltech hustle for McKinsey. It's in the class of Facebook, Google, Microsoft etc (maybe slightly lower).

There is this Chinese-American guy, Victor Cheng, ex-McKinsey himself, that specializes in coaching grads of even these top schools for interviews of McKinsey, Bain, BCG etc (His site: https://www.caseinterview.com/)

Hmmm..

Is it just me that is wondering if i applied for thesame job with these 3-5 guys up there �

I'm learning so much about the oil and gas industry from this thread alone that by the time APL shows, i should deserve a degree in oil and gas already

Abeg, make una carry go, i told my panelist that i loved acquiring knowledge and one of them lowered his glass like okonjo iweala to look at the bobo saying such and shook head in disbelief, next tym i enter towers, i have to pay him a visit and show him what I've learnt in a month after our last meeting

Guy rest, you'd be forming badoo here dey form meek for shell thread.
