<prompt> Human: I have worked in an entry level position for the past 2 years. Salary currently 35,000.For the past 9 months I have been being groomed to take start a new position. I have been learning the necessary skills, programs, etc to do the job. I am set to be fully into this new role by the end of May. I finally received my pay offer today from my boss, and it is substansially lower than what I expected. They offered me 42k. The job requires substantially more work, time, and travel than my current position...this really is not an attractive offer to me at all. Additionally, I found out I will be paid less than every other person in this role currently because I lack experience there are 6 others in the company with this role.Come May, I need to either accept this new position or leave the company as a replacement for my current position has already been found. I think Im in a decent position to ask for more money, but I was told that because the position had to be created Im not replacing a vacancy, they made this new position for me specifically due to the business growing that the offer I received would be the max they could offer. It seems to me that I am in a decent position to negotiate higher pay since theyve gone through the trouble to train me for nearly a year, but what do yall think?  <response>: If their justification for lowballing you is inexperience then ask them to have guaranteed pay increments say each year or even every 6 months in your contract to bring you up as you gain experience. Aim to be approaching parity with your peers say around their 60k starting point within 2-3 years, and full parity within 5 years at the most.
