Advice on Taking a Job
Hi all...
Been kind of scratching my head at a decision I need to make very soon.
Been offered work as a leasehand for 2 different companies - 1 large (Ensign) and 1 smaller company (TD Drilling).
I'm not sure which way to go. Both are camps jobs in Fort Mcmurray. Ensign is fly-in and fly-out. Ensign pays hourly (29.50 w/ 84 hours a week) while TD pays a flat $500 dayrate.
I have friends who work for each company and they both speak highly of their company. I'm just kinda worried that at Ensign you are just another number on another rig, which could be shut down at any moment, where as the smaller company, may offer fewer perks, but because its privately owned will be working pretty much year round, aside from the break up.
Any thoughts?
