Feeling lowballed received an offer to PNC product management development program. Excited to be making a break into product but it’s paying 20% less than what I’m currently earning.

I’ve heard PNC underpays across industry verticals, FWIW.

Celebrate the win of breaking into product and just be mindful of the trade offs that sometimes come with exploring something new, good luck!

Not the same, but I interned in Product. It was a great experience and great team. However, my FT offer was around 15% less than starting salary elsewhere (adjusted for cost of living). I think it’s good opportunity to break into Product. But salary can be disappointing. What LoB are you joining?

They didn’t say but I think I’m joining internal tools

I think if you're breaking into an industry/role, it's ok to take a 20% downgrade, just try to jump up much higher in the next place.

It might be nice to negotiate it closer to 15% less, but don't get discouraged that it's less, if this is something you know you should do.

I’ve looked at everyone on the team with the same titles salary on the sunshine list and the lowest I see is 121k. I assume there is an OT component of some sort but also can’t confirm.
