At roughly $35/hr, this posting sits about 28% above the $27/hr median for welding jobs across Indiana — toward the top of a $23–$29/hr middle band drawn from 34 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 88% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. 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.
