everyone gets the same salary no matter if you are 30 and have 8 yrs of PE experience or straight out of school. an analyst is an analyst and they will pay you like one.
just kill it, money will come later...
iRX & Assets - I guess you guys are right. Thanks much for your comments.
Does anybody think differently? Any opinions/experiences would be appreciated.
This is your first full time job? You aren't entitled to anything, be happy you have a job and bust your ass at it
Agree............be happy you have this opportunity & build on it. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is your career. Don't worry about the 'other guy'; a 1st job is a resume builder.
Agreed...you are a price taker man, so take it if you like the job.

If it was below the newly starting analyst then you would have a problem.
Glad I asked. I've been bummed about this ever since the offer letter. I guess I will just suck it up and be happy that I have an offer. Thanks to all of you for your comments!
