That’s a tough situation you’re in.
Normally companies reward the people they are promoting with higher salaries, which means a nice raise.
They haven’t in your case-perhaps you were paid above your previous role, or perhaps your boss is clueless, or the company is cheap.
I would personally search for average salaries for your new role online (ideally for the city you are in) and see where you sit. Use this info to justify a different rate in the new role.
If your employers don’t budge, then I’d do your role for 6 months, acting like an ideal employee and learning all you can, and then start looking for a new job. The fact that you’ve been recently promoted is a good indicator for other companies who will pay you market rates for that role.
Good luck.
