can you get me a job at halliburton

You don't want to right now.

Wait like a year or two. I think they are doing some back channel with an unknown entity where whatever entity is will acquire halliburton.

Back when I was getting laid off halli was attempting to do a hostile takeover acquisition of Baker Hughes. Government put a stop to that do to the combo company would have monopolized the industry. Schlumberger is still the industry leader, but they wouldn't have even been able to compete combined company.

But now shoe on other foot. Halliburton needs to be bought out to survive. So their best option is to reach out to potential buyers and say "we're for sale, please buy us"
