Personally, I've taken many (most?) of my jobs below market value.

I've always figured the first step was to get the job I wanted. It's only a starting salary.

It doesn't take much to prove you are worth much more and make them very nervous about you leaving because they are undervaling you.

The other thing is get your money working for you, so hopefully, one day, it can earn more for you than anyone can pay you, and you can focus on what the job has to offer you in term of your interest and dreams, not salary.
