Depends on the role. Pass on any "engineering' position, they've moved on from taking that seriously. Everything done by rote and legacy, no real engineering. You'll be bored stiffless
Hard pass
We are being canvassed in Bengaluru for jobs in Guyana.
Great for an assignment just before retirement. It is a way to stay safe from HC10 layoffs and jobs moving to India
Wait until May to make a decision
It’s a developing country but easy access to the southern carribean. Positive work environment with all the growth. If you worked upstream internationally before outside of North America then you’ll know what to expect
There’s a reason it’s getting harder to staff.
You should visit before taking the assignment. Even if it is on your own dime. It is a very hot humid boring place. I know an engineer that was kept over his two years because they could not find a replacement. He had to threaten to quit to get moved back to civilization. It reminds me of some of the African fields exxon had back in the day or new guinea.
If you spend your entire day working then it is fine. Schools are terrible. Nothing to do but work. Take your deworming pills when your but gets itchy. Never knew what pinworms were before this assignment. Google it
