<prompt> Human: I am a recent graduate and accept a 60k per year offer as a finance analyst. I had spent 2 week negotiating this salary and was led to believe that it was on the high end offers. I found out today that the associates get paid around 62k.As I have already signed the contract, what do you think my options are? I would appreciate any feedback suggestions. Thanks!Assistant: Theres little you can do at this point. Once youve negotiated the salary and accepted the offer, its going to look really bad on your part if you go to them and try to change things. Thats not the way you want to start off a new job. If you perform well, then at your next review at least 6 months down the road you can request a raise, and one of the reasons to give, aside from your performance, is that a raise will put you more in line with what is standard in the industrycompany, if this is the case.Also, you need to understand that even if finance analyst is equivalent to associate at this company, the difference between 60k and 62k is so little that its within the expected range of variation. Not all employees with the same title get paid the same amount, and this is normal. Experience, education, and negotiating skills are responsible for a lot of this difference. Given what youve said, I dont necessarily think that anything unfair happened here.Human: Thanks for the reply! From what I understand, my position is 8-16 months more senior than an associate role, which is equivalent to an entry level position. I was led to believe that given my qualifications, I am given a more senior role higher pay. Turns out that was not the case. Nonetheless, I will perform my best while keeping a look out for better opportunities elsewhere for a few years down the road.  <response>: Do you mean the associates start at 62K or the associates there receive 62K? If its the later, how long have the associates been there? Are the associates at the top end of their salary? If youre starting at their top end; youre in a much better position.
