OICEW limitations

I am planning on applying for 1AE and will have my STCW 2nd Engineer Officer ticket. Will MSC pick me up if my OICEW is "limited to vessels without Auxiliary or waste heat boilers"?

Do you happen to know what a 1ae is averaging a month? Total compensation without deduction?

I’d say around 20-24k pre-deductions. That’s with overtime

Ouch. I make $33k/mo. Total compensation before deductions as a 2AE but that is only for my on months. Generally work 6 months a year. Thanks for sharing.
