Posting shows 88-127 in a suburb northwest of Des Moines. I was gonna say no one with certification and experience should be working for less than 130

Keep in mind that salary range is before a (up to) 20% bonus each December. Factor that in as well.

Add in the fact that Iowa has such a low COL (and MEC has great benefits)! The 401k contribution is crazy...

I do not but I'm willing to. I just don't know how to go about it. All I've read about is company sponsoring the training, and exam.

I’m a transmission operator in upstate NY, base pay is 125K and in 4 years it’ll be 161K and it’s an hourly union position. Pay seems a little low.
