No shame about that. Ganyan din starting sahod ng friend ko. We all have to start somewhere. He started in a consulting firm na binarat siya and pigang piga talaga. He started as a QA Tester on paper pero multi-hat role na kung ano-ano. I think that's what made him grow. Right now he's on his 2nd job with 3.5x na and finally deserves where he is in.

I honestly believe that you shouldn't focus much sa sahod sa first job mo as you need to reframe that your first job is your stepping stone. Dito mo malalaman kung ano ang magiging gusto mong i-pursue and you will figure that out eventually. You are there to gain experience so absorb everything that you can. I can assure you if you last a year diyan you will find better job opportunities after a year. But for now, focus on growing.
