Just had a stage three interview for an entry-level financial planning job. Got the call with the job offer. I got the job, but compensation was lower than I expected. Asked for $2,500 more and hit send, afterwards I immediately noticed a math mistake on my part in the justification. Beating myself up about it. I’m trying to learn how to be less hard on myself.

Anyway, if the counteroffer is accepted I’ll be making $50k at a local firm. Not bad for me in Kansas City being in my 20s. I’m excited for the opportunity. 45h per week, opportunity for advancement, no cold calling.
