@overflow123 Wrong bet. Sorry. Guess again!

@overflow123 I have a BSc in chemistry and 3 years work experience. That's the highest paying job I have received any response from, let alone an offer. I asked for higher in my interview but they said $30 was the wage. Not from CNRL, but it is a smaller company up there.

@texan40 Mind DMing me the company? Lol.

@resjudicata I have a BSc in chemistry, and most labor jobs I have seen make more than what I have been offered since I graduated. $16-$23/hr is the general range for entry level jobs where a BSc in chemistry is required.

@resjudicata It does, but I do not know what area I would be interested in. It's a big commitment to do and I don't want to go into an area that I will regret later. I think this is an internal, mildly irrational fear and I am trying to overcome it and go towards a PhD. I have done some PhD...

@7lilwords I appreciate that insight. I know I should move away from QA tech, but it's what I am currently qualified for based on my first job out of uni, so I'm drawn back into those.

@nobito Yes $22 is shit but that is what all entry-level(ish) jobs I can find pay. I even negotiated up from $20/hr. This is for the second rung up their ladder too, their entry position they pay $16-$18/hr. My partner is okay with me going up. That is the main consideration aside from pay and...

@littleqin What makes is so awesome? I've heard that from others too.

@sb1955 Accommodations all set for the 7 days I'm up there, so I wouldn't be spending at all for 50% of my time.

@johankarroe1122 I tried to negotiate higher but they said it was $30/hr firm. I didn't know how to argue higher

@catherine1192 With 7 on 7 off I feel its the best of both worlds, half time off and half time I'm completely gone. I would prefer a standard work week, which is why I am considering the Montreal position. My partner is happy with me doing the 7 on 7 off, with the Montreal position being 5 days...

@peanut_01 Thank you! I appreciate the advice. I'll put into practice organizing a date to do together each week, that sounds sound.

@peanut_01 going 7 on 7 off, what would be your best advice in terms of relationship! Obviously everyone is different, but I'd like to hear. I'm leaning towards that job

@mikeyd0110 I am living in Calgary, fly in fly out 7 on 7 off

I am 25, a chemist and I currently have 2 job offers on the table. One is based in the oil sands in Alberta. Fly in fly out for $30/hr 7 days on 7 off. The other is $22/hr in Montreal, full time afternoon shift, working every other Saturday (and mostly 10hr days) I know this comes down to...
