𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟭)
Working in the Middle East has always been a dream of mine, especially in the oil and gas industry. Securing a role with a national oil company in this region has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. With a 28-day rotation schedule, it truly feels like a dream come true.
In November 2014, I achieved this milestone by joining Petronas Iraq Garraf Ltd (Petronas Carigali Iraq Holdings). Choosing the Middle East for my next career step was a decision driven by several factors:
𝟭. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: The region's abundant oil resources provide an unparalleled platform to advance in the oil and gas sector.
𝟮. 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: The Middle East's alignment with Islamic values, such as halal food and prayer flexibility, offers a supportive and comfortable lifestyle.
𝟯. 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Competitive packages and tax-free income make it possible to achieve significant financial goals.
𝟰. 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Working alongside a diverse and multicultural workforce has greatly enhanced my professional and personal growth.
In my next post, I’ll share more insights into the pros and cons of working abroad. Stay tuned!
