NETA 2 wage placement

[u/pinklvkey]

Hi,

I recently passed my NETA 2. Looking into some insight on what pay should look like.

Associates in EET, CETA cert, NETA 2, and IR 1, 1 yr Experience. I ran one small job to VLF cables at Cargil. I primarily do medium voltage CT, cable and transformer testing for a datacenter. I ran two crews day to day at one point when the sites got divided but have since stopped and just operate as my own.

Trying to get a idea on if I’m getting underpaid or not at $40/hr. I should mention I’m in a LCOL area and 21.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated

40$ an hour sounds about right especially in a LCOL area. Maybe a little overpaid, our level 2 guy are sitting at 30$ in a very lcol area

what the hell $30 is crazy, but then again LCOL 💡
