Oh I agree, but I'm here to learn more than anything. And I'm certainly not underpaid compared to market.
Before this current job I hadn't worked as a professional (outside of minor freelance work in my home town) so I see this as bootstrapping a career with zero student debt, plus there's perks like travel opportunities and accelerated career growth which I couldn't easily get elsewhere.
