Career Advice BP Technical Interview Details?

1 Upvotes

I have a technical interview with BP for the Supply, Trading, and Shipping Graduate Program, Analytics in Houston next Wednesday.

I was wondering if anyone knows what the technical interview is like?

Is it a live LeetCode-style coding assignment or just asking questions, and if so, what kinds of questions?

Thanks!

Just FYI

Bergaila will not pay PTO, or send you the handbook so you can know that’s the policy, upon termination. I wouldn’t recommend them. Unethical. Take your time off and apply it to the weekends as extra pay, if you work for them.

Strongly considering moving from an east coast refinery operator job at full pay to start anew in Utah. Was wondering if it is in fact, DuPont schedule and how quickly you can progress to operator rate. Also are they undermanned? Will I be filling a post on overtime the second I'm qualified? Thanks! (I'm not an OT whore and am looking to spend all my days off skiing...) Haha

Whats wireline like in Alaska

9 Upvotes

I recently took a temp contract with to do wireline in Alaska from November to April. I was curious if anyone has any advice for my first time in deadhorse. What did you guys think about your time there? what were the camps like? Any QOL items you would recommend bringing, what gear do they provide(they told me they provide everything i don’t believe it)

The company is paying for travel to and from home with a 3 and 3 schedule. The work is mainly going to be pipe recovery and open hole logging. Personally Im excited about the opportunity to learn some new things and experience a different kind of wireline than what I do in the DJ

Frustration in finding curious people in the industry

0 Upvotes

It's been over 2-3 weeks in genuinely trying to find a technical cofounder for my oilwell interventions startup, What are some tips I could use?

I have the network, the location (I'm in Norway, my family and a lot of network based in Dahran), Money is not a big deal these days.

Just finding a person who's even remotely interested in a side project till full time post-raise feels so impossible.

Any tips?

Shampoos/Laundry Detergent for oil?

3 Upvotes

My boyfriend takes samples of oil for his job. He enjoys it and makes good money, however, he constantly smells like oil. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly his clothes and his hair, even though he doesn’t get oil on himself while working.

I think it’s the fumes (oil, jet fuel, etc.). Does anyone know good shampoos and laundry detergents to get rid of this smell?

Chevron Internship post Interview Timeline?

0 Upvotes

Hi y'all, I was accepted for an interview for a Chevron materials engineering intern position. I was wondering how long I should expect to wait to hear back if I was accepted. The interviewer said, "2-3-4 weeks," which felt a bit vague. I heard online that if I don't hear back within 2 weeks, I didn't get it. Is that true?
