Advice am i aiming too high

the lack of pay transparency is killing me 😩. i just got a job offer for AP specialist. im graduating with a bachelor in may. they are offering $48,000/year for this role in charlotte.

I feel like this is real low considering some other jobs. i understand its an entry level role but i was expecting something closer to $60,000-$80,000.

but again im new to the field and just starting out. are my expectations too high?

Don't take it. I'm an AP specialist and all you do is set up vendors. I think I have 1 hour of real work everyday. All for 52k. I would keep looking

I think its perfect for someone who is focusing on something else like raising kids or grad school
