Just reading the small print... the B2B relationship is my preferred route. But perhaps I could be a permie for one year with conditions like these...

1. Sign-on Bonus.
XXX agrees to pay Candidate a one-time Conditional Sign-On Bonus of $45,000 (“Bonus”), subject to all required taxes and withholdings, to be paid within thirty (30) days after Candidate’s first day of work(Starting date).

2. First Retention Bonus.
If employee maintains sound report record for his/her duties activities till the end of the contract, he/ she will receive the sum of $200,000 as first retention bonus.

3. Employee will receive the sum of $20,011 for six weeks annul holidays per year, and first class ticket to visit home for FIFO

I presume you will be paid cash personally delivered by a fairy flying a pig

Well Done. Bit against the run of play for O&G at the moment?
Can't they sign you up in Ireland or Scotland and whip you over on an ICT?

q2: don't know.

q1: Feels like o&g in the US is exploding ever since they've reduced their dependency on the middle east.

Upstream, downstream or trading?

PM if you prefer.

All expenses paid. Is it worth it? MF you've been sucking off Uncle Sam, what's it taste like? Would you recommend it?

I have to say, if I had an offer-to-die-for, I would answer the question 'Have you had an offer-to-die-for?' with the answer 'Absolutely not!!'

Does this mean we'll have to put up with you banging on about America rather than Germany.

Here's a tip - no posting about it being too early for champagne.

I'm not going for it. I can make €700 a day where I am. Not flying half way round the globe for another €300.

1800USD = 1400EUR according to my currency converter.

Unless the $1800 inc expenses.
