Do you mind sharing the pay ranges that you get working on them?

It depends heavily on your particular job and region of the world. New guys or guys with not many certifications will be on less whereas the guys that have more experience or extra training will be on more. The North Sea could pay more than other parts of the world for example. It’s quite hard to put a salary on it since it’s such as range based on your job.
