At roughly $38/hr, this posting sits about 17% above the $33/hr median for welding jobs across New Jersey — toward the top of a $29–$40/hr middle band drawn from 104 postings with published pay.

Pay that far above local median usually comes attached to something: a harder cert requirement, travel, night shift, or overtime that isn't really optional. Worth establishing which before you accept.
