Hello!
I recently applied for an I&C Technician for a major power company. In the next few days I will take a pre-employment test and interviewed. The recruiter told me that the starting pay for this job is considerably less than my present salary.($6-$10/hr less) This is less than most industrial electricians in this area make. She said that I would have to go through their training program. Why the low pay considering that I do have experience in this field? On the other hand I am still considering the job because the salary's top range is higher than what I presently make. I've heard that this is common for power companies. Has anyone else applied for a similar job with a power company and found this to be true?
