The fact that this company is willing to insult you by low balling only a 4+% means they are either tight budget, dont really care about quality and just want cheapest sucker to accept or the role is much lower level than what they tell you.

Whatever the case, they see you much smaller than you think you are worth. Any company that has the cheek to put up so little upfront I wont even bother to negotiate further. It has a not serious label written all over it.
This is a sign of "stinginess", and if u join them, you will be stingy-ed FOREVER!!! muhahahaha

usually for low level jobs increment for job hop should be 25% at least, mid level 20%, otherwise its just not worth the risk of changing your stable comfortable rice bowl
