ExxonMobil Lease Operators in Midland: What Are You ACTUALLY Making?
I recently interviewed with ExxonMobil for a Lease Operator position in the Midland Basin, and I’m trying to get real numbers from people who actually work there.
Everybody says Exxon pays great and has great benefits, but nobody ever says what they actually make.
For current or recent lease operators, what does it really look like?
- Hourly rate?
- Typical weekly hours and OT?
- Annual bonus?
- Pension and 401(k)?
- Medical costs?
- Schedule?
- Approximate yearly total compensation?
- Biggest pros and cons?
I have 10+ years in oil and gas, but I also recently finished my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and picked up several technical certifications.
I currently have data center opportunities paying $62/hr, so I’m trying to figure out whether Exxon’s total package is strong enough to justify staying in oil and gas.
If you’re comfortable sharing:
Hourly:
Years experience:
Typical hours:
Bonus:
Total yearly comp:
Pension/401(k):
Schedule:
Would you choose Exxon over $62/hr at a data center?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have worked for Exxon/Pioneer, Oxy, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, EOG, BP, or Permian Resources.
Please don’t just say “Exxon pays better.” Give us the numbers and tell us why.
