Career choice help

takax2040 — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:08:20 +0800

Hello everyone. I am a fresh mechanical engineering graduate and I need some help.
I currently have to decide between 2 different job offers.
The first one is a large MNC construction consultant firm in Malaysia.
The second offer is a small oil and gas consultant firm in Singapore.

Pay wise both offer similar pay without converting currencies (ie RM 2xxx and SGD 2xxx). So far having weighed the pros and cons in my mind the main points seem to be:
The local MNC job gives a nice company name to add to my resume.
The small Singaporean company pays in SGD and is involved in oil and gas which supposedly brings in the big bucks later.

Any help in making this decision will be very much appreciated.
