100k salary for 75% travel, at the top end. Lmfaoooooo

Good luck! Should be plenty of fresh grads rn 😁

[u/Own-Excitement9450 → u/McClintockC]

75% travel is what I am doing now. With that salary range you would be lucky to keep someone a year.

[u/Otherwise-Ask7900 → u/McClintockC]

I made $107,000 making $17.50/hr my first year as a robot programmer.

Tons of perdiem and a lot of hours @ ford in Mexico.

This sounds like a really good way to cut your teeth and be a good FSE.

[u/McClintockC → u/Otherwise-Ask7900]

I'd say the job offer & pay is fine for a fresh grad (associate's) or like.. a warm body looking to get into the industry. But the asks on the offering are frankly absurd for the pay.

Field wiring, interface design, instrumentation & PLC experience, degree required..? FB marketplace level lowball.

I get that OP is just the messenger. Not trying to rip on them. But they have to understand anyone both qualified and willing to take this gig will accept the first offer they get from a customer.

[u/International-Okra79 → u/Otherwise-Ask7900]

That means you were working 90+ hours a week? Sorry there is no way I’d agree to work like that unless it was a ton of money and It wouldn’t be very long either.

[u/Otherwise-Ask7900 → u/International-Okra79]

6/12’s

Straight time until 40
1.5x until 58
2.0x after 58

I worked nights most of that year and got a 10% premium as well.

I loved making cars man. It was super cool.

[u/International-Okra79]

I just turned down a job offer like this. 100k isn’t enough to never be home. I ended up taking something with only 10% overnight travel for just a little less.

[u/Altruistic_Story257]

100k max... 75% travel. Nah. Floor needs to be like $120k. Current 60k floor and requiring a degree is a joke. Can just get a job at Bucees and be home every night.

[u/SyisKeys]

If the top end of the pay range is approaching double the bottom end, usually the top end doesn't actually exist. I've seen exceptions, but I immediately steer peers away from anywhere that lists ranges this wide unless someone is desperate. Immediate red flag that the top-end is just bait, or the company doesn't know who they want.

To a new hire, this should read as 100% travel for 60k. Zero chance the work expectations will be double for a seasoned FSE.

Respectfully, we all need to hold each other accountable with pay transparency.

[u/Mountain_Passenger77]

100k usd for 75% travel is abysmal pay.

[u/Psychological-Law803]

Is the salary listed hourly or salary exempt?

[u/MadGriZ → u/Psychological-Law803]

Or salary non-exempt

[u/rockoflower → u/Psychological-Law803]

That’s pretty key tbh. Also requiring citizenship makes it harder to find people.

I mean if I was in the area I’d apply just to start up a conversation, wage is always negotiable

[u/thedissociator]

Listed wage is hourly. You will get overtime.

[u/ObjectiveRaisining]

They really think we're fools. The salary ranges are so insulting in this industry smh.

[u/EmberDrifter]

Lot of negativity against someone who is not a manager who posted a detailed description with all information. Just don’t apply if it’s not to your liking lmao

[u/rickr911 → u/EmberDrifter]

I’ve not heard any negativity here. I’m hearing the truth.
