I have heard from several people that they have jumped from oil to mining, that they got a job fairly quickly and are now making significantly more money. I'd like to leave Exxon as soon as possible, but I'm still not sure that mining is a much better option. I need the advice of someone who has more experience.

Specifically what mining are we talking about that pays significantly more than O&G??
Sounds like good advice. Many expat opportunities?
Oil and gas is mining.
Silly goose.
Lithium, copper, rare earth magnet materials. All take mining.
Electric cars, trucks.
Make sense now?
I went from Exxon to mining. Culture is a generally more old school, probably how Exxon used to be. But there's signs that is rapidly changing. Equivalent to slightly better benefits. Slight pay increase. It does seem like there's more upward mobility than at Exxon
