Is the Hays salary guide accurate for geo roles?

title. I’ve received a number of interviews for a grad position as a geo, and I’ve always been given an amount that seems to be on the low side for pay.

for example, Norton Gold Fields (as from my interview) had a base salary of 80-85k + 12k allowance. This despite the company getting good reviews on seek for "high pay" when the going rate as per Hays was 120k base pay for a grad. another company was offering 105k base, with a decent bonus scheme but I just can’t shake off the feeling that I’m just being lowballed given what the Hays salary guide’s published.

Thing is, I’m a graduate visa holder, and while I’m not fussed about the pay I’m getting, I can’t help but feel like I’m very much so lowballed for these positions just because I’m on a visa. I’m defos not expecting manager levels of pay lmao, but I quit a previous grad geo role partly because of pay being on the low side as per Hays plus a lack of a bonus structure (coupled with the fact that safety was nonexistent and I was being given higher standards + workload over my coworkers who have been in the industry for much linger than I have been). Am I overthinking or?
