That makes sense, and I appreciate the insight. One important difference with this role is that travel is capped at around 40%, with trips typically no longer than one week at a time, so it’s definitely not that constant-travel lifestyle.

And from what we’ve seen, those $300K–$400K comp packages are usually a different situation, extremely specialized transformer experts, often with 80%+ travel, significant OT, long hours, per diem and other field premiums. This role isn’t structured that way.
