You will see many RINA vacancies globally at the moment, but they need to line up salaries to meet local requirements, and not to mention salaries inline with other classification societies. Take for example, in Sweden (Gothenburg) the senior surveyor could not even afford to live in the city, and had to relocate to the countryside because his salary with RINA does not allow him to live a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. The same globally, in the U.S, in other part of Europe, Asia / Pacific. RINA charges overtime to the clients if a surveyor has to work out of normal working hours / weekend, but the surveyor does not get a single cent ! Now how can you expect them to pay decent salary when they charge clients peanuts? They are most likely the cheapest class society in the market at the moment, and most choose RINA for the price (remember you get what you pay for), and in return, you get surveyors who are inexperienced, incompetent or just good ones that really just don't care anymore, there is no incentive to thrive or do a good job. At the end of the day, we are all working for a better life, and if you are not paid what you deserve, it is only a matter of time before you leave. Maybe that is what RINA's wants, so they get an inexperienced guy in, and pay him the low rates as he cannot the demand or expect a higher salary?
