A friend of mine got an offer ($85K) recently in a major O&G service company as a mechanical engineer. He has Master degree plus 3 years experience. What should be a reasonable salary he should negotiate with the new employer? Any suggestions? Thanks
That sounds fair, given his experience, especially for a service company. Your friend should accept the offer and be thankful for landing a OG career now. With price of oil so low companies have already started laying off folks.
If after three years he doesn't know what a good offer should be, he's probably not that much of an engineer.
Working as an engineer doesn't magically impart information on other people's salaries. Now if he'd been a recruiter who found jobs for engineers, then he's know what a good offer would be. But as a regular employee? He knows only what his current job is paying him.

If you don't know what you want for a salary as a professional, you're ready to be a pro. He shouldn't care what other people make, he should care what the job is worth. If you don't value your own time, why should an employer?
