I have a few questions for those that have experience in the oil and gas industry, especially if located in Houston.

Not sure if this info is helpful but I have my MBA and CPA with 9 yrs. overall exp with none in the oil and gas industry.

I’m applying for a Management Accountant position with Schlumberger (supplier of technology to Oil and Gas clients). After working for this type of company, what type of exit opportunities can one have? I have no supervisory exp and the position does not offer any exp. Not sure how likely it would be to advance in this type of industry/company.

I’m looking for general pointers as to what areas to avoid in Houston as far as crime and traffic. In addition, what type of salary is sufficient for a single person. I haven’t been able to get promoted with my current employer so it seems that I’ll eventually have to find something in Houston or some other big city in Texas.

If you have exp in the oil and gas industry located anywhere, your feedback is more than welcomed!

Well, I will be working in Dallas with an MLP group. We deal with a lot of oil and gas companies and I've seen/heard of several people going from the Big 4 to an upper level management position within the oil/gas company. Usually it's someone with 5-10 years experience at the Big 4.

I know this situation doesn't really apply to you, but if you're open to working for a Big 4 I'm sure I could forward on your resume. Our two offices are in Dallas and Houston.

I am being flown out by E&Y for an assurance position there in Dallas. Really hoping something works out. I would love to move to Texas.

It's a very friendly “single” city.

Always something to do; a concert, event, festival. The farmers market is great. Once a month they have a Chinese festival deal, they shut down the block and just hand out free beer. I've never been because it doesn't really fit me, but it would be a fun experience.

Yeah I am married and I don't drink… but I am still up for a good time! Be nice to experience things a little… at least for my wife's sake. She has never lived outside of a 5 block radius growing up until she married me.

Ill be out duck hunting in the winter and fishing in the summer.
