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 @

    Very good place to be in

    Aug 2, 2021 - Senior Finance Manager in Chennai
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Shell has a very good brand value and they maintain a very good working environment. The work life balance is pretty good and they take extra care for female employees. Salary is also decent. You will have lots of things to learn from their vast spread businesses.

    Cons

    Their is almost no facilities. Even the parental Mediclaim policy is crazy expensive. Also the variable part of the salary is quite high and it depends on company performance. So high chances that you might loose a substantial amount of money. Also they maintain designations which does not make any sense. There are many people with designation of business analyst are actually 2 level higher in the organization from people having designations Senior team manager. This creates lots of confusion with in and outside market.
