This.

I'm in a similar position. Started low, but took it (though they increased their counteroffer). Then I got a promotion and a 10% raise, which is still low. Think about how many high % raises you'd need to get decent pay, and that HR will have caps on department payroll. So basically, if the company is cheap with newhires, you really can't advance much salary-wise by working hard and expecting some huge raise.

Either look for a new job now and switch asap (if your 2 part-times earn less than the prospective offer), or stay for the experience then leave for a similar job with more money once you built up experience.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your advice. In the end the boss called me to ask why I hadn't responded to his lack of a counteroffer and we were able to negotiate on the phone. I just completed my first week on the job and it seems like a good fit.

Thanks again for all of your help!
