I feel embarrassed telling people about my starting salary.

Hello everyone, I'm (22M) a graduating IT student, I recently started looking for jobs not really expecting anything, just as a way to experience job hunting and interviewing. I recently landed a role as Service Engineer at a place near where I live and I'm set to start in a few days.

I think everyone I know still carries that idea of an IT graduate earning a lot. The role I was given pays 15k a month, it's not the exact job I was looking for because I'm primarily a webdev but I would like to work with hardware which is one of the appeals of this job. I don't know why but whenever I get ask how much my salary is I kinda just skim around the question lol.

I don't really know why I wrote this, I think maybe for just bit I felt like I achieved something but it's not enough, I guess?
