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?
3-4 months inclusive AWS works out to just 2-3 months real bonus which is pretty low compared to many other industries. Like that the HR still dare to call this 'high bonus'? Haha and still need to take a pay cut, I will just politely tell them fcuk off.

3k this sort of low pay level also want to undercut to 2.7k!? Co. with this sort of HR mentality dun bother to join them unless really desperate.
