OK, I have posted similar question in the past about pay, but now with all the ads saying "pay commensurate with experience" or whatever, I wonder how many skilled people pass those ads up because of that? (regardless of economy because it has been around forever)
I know personally I won't/don't respond because I don't want to waste my time when they want to pay $15/hr or whatever...
I am not actively looking for a job, but I always look (if that makes sense)
If you want to pay me by experience, another common term under salary/pay....
1) Let's say $.75/ year for first 4 years as I was doing an apprenticeship and learning (not knowing) things
2) $1.00/year for years 5-10 because I was starting to really "get it" in those years
3) $1.25/year for 10-20 because I really knew shit then, and could run lots and lots of equipment (b-ports, surface grinders, wedm, radial drills, etc)
4) $1.50/year for years 20-present. I now (and a little bit before) know how to program multi axis machines (5-6), can run older versions of MCX blindfolded, Haas machine blindfolded, some Fanuc, some Mazak, ability to travel to sites and work, still run b-ports and manual machines, blah blah
So I come up with around $28/hour... That would even be under what I would take (I currently make roughly $32/hr)
So.... thoughts?
