What is inconsistent or wrong is fresh grad in IT getting paid 5k to do half the job of seniors. That's wrong
If the company value allthis fresh talent so much, why do we senior need to "teach" them since we are already underpaid. So yep. This is the result of fresh grad getting crazy starting pay

Get high starting pay. Be prepared to work 24/7 cause no one will help you.
Why are you comparing to other industries instead of within the industry?
It's a vicious cycle, you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Probably the HR and management realised this, and they are willing to pay the market rate to compete with the tier 1/2 companies. This will help to refresh their current pool of "talents".

Are you sure you're underpaid? If you strongly feel so, why not go somewhere else which can pay you fairly? We have a free market economy, you get the salary you deserve. Either you're not good enough, or you're easily replaceable, or you're weak in negotiation, or you're too comfortable. All of which, you can do something about it, but you chose not to. Who to blame then? Nobody owes you your desired salary.
