I was an FE for Big Blue for years. You get salary + a day rate + hourly pay. Second year you’re easily clearing six digits. Yep the schedule sucks but it’s a lot more than “$12 an hour”

Big Blue stopped giving a day rate. They give around $2700 per paycheck with $40 per diem. Day rate bonus disappeared after 2016. It was usually $50-$100 for just being on location that usually came from the operator.
Big Blue still gives 3-5k bonus every year.
Pay in the entire industry went down after the oil crash.
Only my third year buddies are clearing 6 figs for Big Blue right now. Most of them don’t even make it past 2 years. A lot of them quit to go work for sales, go to med school, get a masters in something else like an MBA.
