It’s true those first three paychecks are paltry ($2000/mo pretax means semimonthly net pay of about $685)! But it is made up for on day 46, when you start earning $95/hr x 80 hrs/month. That’s 150% what I made at my regional... and second year pay will be double what I made there.
It's not "made up for" later. It's appalling and industry trailing. You shouldn't be celebrating it because it's more than you made at your regional.
