Okay, when I went into my interview I was actually desperate to get a job so following my boyfriend's advice, I decided to stay safe and not negotiate my salary during the interview.

What I regret the most is the fact that I had an open window of an opportunity to negotiate my salary, the manager pretty much threw the starting pay amount up into the maximum pay amount and stupid me just went modest and took up the starting amount.

Now two months into the job, I find out there's this 18 year old woman who just graduated from freaking high school and who can't really speak english who's probably getting paid the same amount of salary or more while as myself, having obtained 60 units plus of college credit and having had 6 months of banking experience, I'm still getting paid the same amount as under educated folks.
