Just wait, learn and work for the salary you agreed to. Build your skills and when the next opportunity presents itself then decide if you want to leave.
There could be any number of reasons why you're being paid less. If you just took the job, that may be part of it. The current job market has been pushing salaries downward, that's just a function of supply and demand. You can try to negotiate for more, but it may not be well received. The time for that would seem to have passed.
oh yeah, you are signed on with that dollar amount. If everyone is at 10 pr hr and YOU AGREED to 6 pr hr.. yep.. you are there with that amount.
Best thing you can ever do is over negotiate your salary and let them know there is room for negotiations.
Imagine selling a car for $100, low miles, great shape, decent amenities, only to find out you could've gotten $200 for it..
Would you go back to the buyer, after handing over the keys and title "Hey, Bob, I'll need an extra $100 bucks for the car".

Maybe ask for reevaluation 3-6 months in so they can see your worth.
You should had received an offer letter with how much you were going to paid. You should have negotiated your rate then now, you should wait. Learn the job and then on your performance review, you can negotiate a higher rate.

How many in the department that you talked to? And I would question that you talked to your co workers on your first day in enough detail to determine that your experience levels are exactly the same. Even if years of experience is the same that doesn’t necessarily mean that the experience is equal.
Agreed. Years of service with the company also plays a part. There are many variables to be considered when determining wage.
It is highly unlikely that they will adjust the salary now. It is best to stay and learn more about this job, learn new tools, understand the processes, etc. Given the current market condition, I wouldn't recommend negotiating at this point. I am applying for similar roles in revenue and finance. Do you have any tips on job search?
I think it’s likely too early until you’ve been there for a year
If you are in Oregon,(not sure what other states also have this law, but I would check) they have the equal pay for equal work. So get yourself all on boarded and if you are in one of these states, then you you write a letter to HR or Whomever it Concerns and point it out; they know it's not a fight they can win and will likely adjust it immediately and also retro.
Once an employee leaves the negotiation table, they become a statistic on a pay scale that needs to be processed for the company's benefit.
Try to diplomatically negotiate with a smile on your face. If that doesn't work, look for a new job.
always negotiate to the highest possible figure, because whatever you bargain is what you will earn as long as there are no across-the-board increases
Just so you know, every $4.81 pr hr is roughly 10K pr year. So, if you undershot yourself $5 pr hr, it will take about 3-4 years with mediocre increases to get that wage. Meantime, learn new tools, sharpen your craft and just know, right now, there are nearly 300+ K ppl and more every day being let go. So, you can either appreciate the position and work your tail off, cut your personal budget or start your job search. However, my advice is to not advertise your company name in your resume, instead put **Confidential**. If your current employer gets wind you are "looking", they may decide to go in a different direction. I would also add the confidential to your LinkedIn page too if you are looking.
