which that said. junior with higher base salary will be harder to find job outside.
take 5.5k for example, with this salary to join any BIG 4 like EY, deloitte will be a "Senior Consultant" position. But dont think the junior will have the required experience to take up that role.

Not to compare with local SI where if u join them sure will have pay cut. if you start off with 5.5k for the first job.
