took a new job

and im starting to feel really bad because i feel like i could have gotten more money

when i was told what the salary range was i got 5k above what they said because that was my offer but when i looked online at glassdoor and other sites it has the average starting salary of my position as 5k MORE than what i got.

i feel pretty bummed, in the end it is over a 25k raise but still feel like i left money on the table

this was my chance to get more. i just dont know why both the hiring manager and the HR guy both told me the range was 5-8k less than what i got so i felt like i was getting a good deal.
