well I have been always hoping that recent talks about oil industry being flooded with engineers are not true.
but can it affect the salaries that much ?
well everyone would say that even if its true,it will hardly affect the salaries but oh mon Dieu!

i had checked payscale for US,Canada and UAE about seven months back when i first learnt about this field and was amazed to see ~83k starting figure in the US and ~72k-75k in canada.
anyone who might have gone through it as well might agree with me.
one would well like to go to the site after reading this and confirm that it now starts with around ~60k in US and 57-59k in canada.
even payscale UAE has followed the same trend.
and now those who say payscale is not accurate I beg to differ.
is something wrong?
well if its to do something with the site,i disagree.
well there are many others similar to payscale and I bet they won’t rely on payscale for their statistics right ?
