<prompt> Human: I am 20 years old and have a job that pays me 26kyr salary at a title company as an Escrow Assistant. I accepted the job back on March 8, 2016 and since then Ive moved out from my parents home and started paying my rent, car paymentinsurance, bills, and education all out of pocket and Im living paycheck to paycheck... Which sucks.So I decided to do a comparison of salary pay with other people who do the same job as me, and come to find I was low-balled 10,000 when I accepted the job offer. In fact, some offices pay anywhere from 30-45kyr for my position.Is there any way I can negotiate a raise with my current company in order to help my own personal finance? Ive been running my Credit through the roof just to buy groceries. Also, sorry if Im being really vague, this is my first post on this subreddit.indeed dot com where I found this informationEDIT: After reading replies, I noticed that several users stated to stay with the company and build up a years worth of experience, as well as look at competitor salaries and seeing what they pay for a years worth of experience in the field. From there, either negotiate a raise not the full 10k gap, but a living wage with the current company I work for, or find another job that will pay decently. Appreciate it rpersonalfinance! Yall are awesome!  <response>: They are not going to give you a 10K raise. You will have to pay your dues and next year apply to a new company that will pay you better.
