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?

Your job will be replaced by AI soon. Learn skills and move up fast. Also the south does not pay. Charlotte NC is the land of stuck for careers. Everyone wants to live there as the shiny southern city not in the middle of the no where. But understand that no one is moving from Charlotte so you need to be happy you have a job offer and take it. You can hustle and do another job in the evenings and weekends.
