At roughly $26/hr, this posting comes in about 26% below the $35/hr median for welding jobs in Dallas, TX, where the middle half runs $23–$35/hr across 23 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 30% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.
