Fuck man, we had 3 companies trying to recruit while we were in class.

Suncor, Shell, and I forget the other one (Canada Pipeline?)

I didn't want to work in Alberta, but a bunch of my classmates hopped on the first flight out after graduation. Making good money. Buddy said he started at $34/hour and it's all the OT you want, which is pretty good for a 4th class. I'd assume you can clear $100k/year if you want to.

Everything I see for Vancouver Island/Lower Mainland is $25-$30/hour as a 4th and not really enough work to get a lot of OT, so $50-$60k/year. Not bad, but not great either. Don't blame you for wanting to go to AB.

Where are you working now and how do you like it?
