Wow…my first agency job was 2014 making about $38k in FL. Genuinely shocked to hear a salary that low for NY.

AAE salaries are typically a pittance. Its also a role that you'll likely be promoted out of quickly. My advice would be to not squander a raise request now, and instead try to go big when that promotion comes.
