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?

Dont accept this offer if you think it is a risk.
Shipping industry is not doing well. Smaller firms may not survive.

Going into shipping related job is like digging your own grave. Truth be told that it is quite SOP for shipping HR to be totally unethical to quote 3-4mth bonus but in reality is bonus only offered (0.5mth) once in 3-4 years. Stay off any shipping or offshore jobs - coming from industry within

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.

There's no such thing as fixed or near fixed bonus. Honestly speaking, the shipyard can pay more than 3-4 months of bonus during good times, but times aren't really good right now so expect much less than 3-4 months.
