:brain: So… Would You Take It?

:+1: Pros:

:-1: Cons:

  • Training may be intensive β€” must keep up with both manual and CNC learning curves
  • Pay ceiling after initial range may require extra certifications

:speech_balloon: Sound off below:

Would you take this job?

  • Yes? Is it the blend of training, pay, and benefits?
  • No? Too much pressure to learn fast? Choice of location?

Let’s see the debate heat up! :fire:

Started as entry-level at a hydraulics shop, and day shift + paid cross-training was huge β€” keep a notebook and ask to β€œshadow a CNC setup” early; it shortens the learning curve… Pay looks fair for Eugene, but ask @ParkerHannifin about the timeline to Machinist II and any post-training bump or tooling/PPE stipend β€” would that make it a yes for you?
