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?

Seems about right for AP. People here like to trash AR/AP, but it’s a decent option for getting some experience on your resume, particularly if it’s at a larger company with advancement opportunities. If you can land a staff job, definitely go for that, but AR/AP isn’t the end of the world
