Worked offshore for 2 years now, platforms,jak ups,fpso, I enjoy it coz I'm young and free.no commitments or kids etc working 3 on 3 off on a fpso at the moment. Wage is over 3G a week cleared (nzd) but don't get paid a retainer which sucks but like the fellas said it's close knit environment shared rooms 12 hours graft,small communal areas. Plus sides great food,gym,bed made every day close wash dried and folded for u. And a free chopper ride. You get some job worths but hey you get them everywhere. I think it would be a great direction to go if you want to advance more in your career and yep u generally have to know a good sup or someone who works the hr, just remember to cross the t's and dot the i's bud yul be fine.
