ExxonMobil doesn't offer any perks for working in Midland over Houston. Pay is exactly the same. They have a 10% additional pay but it can be cut at any time. It was cut immediately when COVID hit and took months and months of benchmarking, studies and people quitting before it was brought back.

There is currently 10% additional pay but it can be dropped at any time without any warning. During COVID they dropped the additional pay at the first sign of trouble. It took months and months of study before it was brought back. Don't count on the 10% additional pay being around for long. Especially if they want to drive attrition. Remember that ExxonMobil doesn't have layoffs. Instead they drive people to resign. Their model is also to have support functions in lower cost foreign countries and engineers in Houston. They will do whatever it takes to help people decide to quit. I expect a new benchmarking study will show the 10% is no longer needed until they get Midland headcount down to where they want it to be.
