Do they always pay low or am I getting scammed? ME design/analysis position with 2yoe, was asked salary preferences and they wouldn’t provide a band so I said 95-100k. The lady sounded surprised and said that’s on the high end and would likely be 15k lower. Are my salary expectations too high for Midwest?

Manufacturing in general is low margin. Engineers are compensated in kind. That's why so much of it takes place in the Midwest in the first place.
If you want to be paid more as a mech e, learn a skill that's in prime demand for a high margin company like Apple and work there instead.
GE, P&W, Boeing, Textron, etc etc all pay crap. Wages have hardly risen at all since I first started paying attention on 2008.
While, here we have so many overheads, plants, tools, equipment, supply chain, etc. The margin is like 10% on a good year. While apple is like 40%. That is why aerospace companies dont have money.
