My first paycheck at my new job look smaller even though I’m supposed to be making $5k more a year? I’m trying not to look difficult, but the numbers don’t match what I expected at all. What should I check first to figure out if something’s off?

Check how much is being withheld for taxes, insurance and 401k. Those deductions are the most likely culprits. You should also be able to see your gross pay somewhere on your direct deposit statements. If that number multiplied by 26 pay periods (or whatever your yearly pay schedule is) doesn't match up with what you were expecting to make, something else is going on.
