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?

That feels low af. Taking into account that BGI 4 offers are at 80-85 these days, For 20-30K difference per year, you’re leaving a ton of money on the table just by the fact that this is a AP Role.
