Project management.
That's why I took the job I have. It was the most responsibility I could get right out of school, but I miss big industry.
Eta: I did shite work in plants all through college. I miss working with those kinda people. The office life is tough for somebody who grew up around a bunch of contract hands.
To answer the thread, the interview wasn't bad at all. First interview was pretty standard. Second one was presentations, dinner, and interview. Be social and be normal ask questions if you're interested. Research the different PSLs ahead of time and show up with questions because you have to pick your top 3 in the 2nd interview. Be intelligent, don't be a dumbass try hard who says "I don't wanna work in no damn office I wanna pull wrenches"
That's not what they're looking for.

List of things to not do in 2nd interview:
1) only ask "how much field work do I get to do in that PSL?"
2) wear a suit when it says casual on the invitation
3) dress like oil field trash
4) act like oil field trash
You'll see all of the above and they probably won't get offers.
Things to do:
1) take notes
2) ask technical questions
3) genuinely pay attention because you may be making a major life decision that day
4) sleep the night before
You'll only see 2 or 3 people do the above. They'll probably get offers.
