At roughly $22/hr, this posting comes in about 24% below the $29/hr median for welding jobs across Texas, where the middle half runs $23–$38/hr across 416 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 18% 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.
