<p>i'm interviewing for both companies as field engineers. What do you know about these companies and these jobs? I'm aware that the hours are pretty intense, around 100 hours a week, 7 days or more straight sometimes. </p>
<p>But the salaries are about 100k? </p>
<p>Which is the better company to work for? I heard baker pays more...</p>
<p>100 hours a week and you only make 100k? That's ludicrous. </p>
<p>If you have enough experience you should be able to get a job paying 70-80k working no more than 40 a week...</p>
<p>i agree, id rather have a job that works 40 a week pays 80... </p>
<p>i think it's more like 2 weeks on, 1 week off. so those 2 weeks you're working 100 hrs a week, 1 week off. so averages out to be about 70 hrs a week?</p>
<p>You'll be doing field work and basically be on call 24/7 during your work week. It is a pretty intense life style since you'll be at the site and will have to work whenever something goes wrong, be it 3 AM or 10 PM.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you'll be on rotation though.</p>
<p>Pays fairly well, makes a similar amount to those working as engineers in the majors. If you eventually want to work for a major it can be a good starting place.</p>
<p>yea the few guys ive talked to are making about 95k or so after about a year? </p>
<p>i heard you live in a trailer on the work site.</p>
<p>Do they pay for your housing then? Utilities? Any other bonuses?</p>
<p>Because getting payed 95k AFTER a year to work that much is rather pathetic really.</p>
