At roughly $19/hr, this posting comes in about 46% below the $35/hr median for welding jobs in Dallas, TX, where the middle half runs $30–$43/hr across 48 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 6% 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.

The most active employers in Texas at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Houston, TX (27), Zachry Group (22), and Austin Industries (16).
