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?
Tell hr to front load the salary. ie 5k per mth if not no deal. Say u don't mind no bonus.

Your basic is too low to make the deal worthwhile. However if u don't have other job offer, then no choice. But I don't think it is a gd deal.
