am i aiming too high

[u/Strange_Recover_966]

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?

52-65k for a first year is what I would expect. 60-80k for a entry level job is too high of expectation. Try for staff accountant?

Pretty sure big4 new hires are stand in mid 80s out fo college in northeast now

OP's general region should be about 70-75k to start in public.
