I graduated undergrad in 2019. I used to think 50k was a solid start as a salary. Not too high not too low. Now it seems like even 70k is poverty wage on this app lol.

These people are so out of touch with reality. The classism is insane. ~50k is the average wage across all workers. People are raising whole families on 50k. It's not luxury by any means, but for a young 20 something, it's not poverty either.

Comparison is the thief of joy - I am at 145 and I think that’s low

70k is a great starting wage for a single person. Many jobs out of undergrad still begin around 50k.

It’s average, and this app is anything but. However, it’s recoverable. Just start looking for a new job- you’ll probably find one at 1-2 years out of school.

They paid me 40k when I started working. I wasn’t in consulting and I also didn’t know how much I should have been making. Research helps

I was quite proud to have 70k when I got it.

I still see it as a good salary even though I make more than that, though.
