You’re being underpaid. I started working as an MLE right after college and was getting paid $130k at a startup. Now (5 years later) I’m a senior MLE and getting paid $230k at another startup
What state were you in and did you have working experience before?
I was in California, and still am, but now I’m fully remote. I can work anywhere in the US and my pay wouldn’t change.
I had a few internships under my belt before my first job
Using nerdwallet cost of living converter, 130k in San Francisco is equivalent to 71k in Orlando (45% lower cost of living). It's still not an apples-to-apples comparison, but I don't think OP is as underpaid as a 130k CA salary seems to suggest, although I dont think this calculator is perfect either.
