Shipping industry (low basic + high bonus?)
Recently gotten an offer from one of the shipbuilding companies but the salary offered is a 10% cut from my current salary. Role is marketing/corp communications, which is very different from my current role as a researcher. Current pay is about 3k, and it's my first job.
Would like to know if the bonus in shipping industry is usually fixed (HR told me about 3-4 months including AWS, or can be higher). What I know is the shipbuilding industry is not doing very well right now, so I'm wondering if I'm taking a risk by accepting a lower basic pay. HR also said it is normal for people in this industry to receive a low bonus and get 'reimbursed' via high bonus.
Any inputs?
