compare to the big 4, starting pay is 2.8k only but salary can rise relatively fast and exit ops are much wider.
moral of the story: salary is important but not everything. don't be blind like some dumb dogs who keep saying "THEN WHY HR ASK FOR LAST DRAWN SALARY". employers are as concerned about what skills you gained from your previous jobs as how much they might need to pay you.

Not sure what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to dupe the fresh grads to start low with the "promise" of "better prospect" in the "future", you are doing alright.
Low pay and High pay only determines during the interview(get hired a not), after that, its a linear equation.
Example both worker equal work performance:
A starts : 2500
B starts : 3000
yearly increment 10% for grade A employees... after 3 years
A = 3327
B = 3993
you can see even if both workers have the same work output, because B starts with a higher pay, he earns $21515 more AT LEAST.
If A wants to resign, he will most likely get a re-offer, to a level which will at least match B - 10%. So next time you get re-offer, YOU KNOW WHY!!
