Data Analyst

Hi guys, I interest in moving to Houston or Dallas. I would love to work for an oil gas company but they tend to be very picky. What companies do you guys suggest and are willing to hire someone from another state. I am relocating regardless so I really don't expect a relocation package. I am currently a Financial analyst , with experience in logistics and finance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Like Shell BP Chevron TotalEnergies @

    Pros

    People are nice and friendly.

    Cons

    The application process was very time-consuming and the salary is not as good as other oil and gas companies. The interns are assessed based on their projects instead of comprehensive skills. (many interns failed their assessment at Shell but it doesnt means they are not great workers.) My mentor and supervisor did not provide constructive feedback during my internship.
