I join le den realised I hit all L2, some even L3 but they offer me G grade pay. How can?

Ok lah I’m happy with what I have now, nothing to complain as a new joiner. I prefer to work under solid bosses. Peace!

I was exactly in the same scenario as you.

You may be fine now as new joiner and all, but once you realize your growth is stunted right from the start, i.e. your starting grade is lower than what you are supposed to be, and that your boss, no matter how nice, will have no power to accelerate your promotion to match what you are supposed to get, then you may revisit your position again.

unless you are here for the short term that is

Currently mid-senior employee drawing 6k now, doesn't get retained.

HR can do the following

Hiring another mid-senior around the same salary which is 6k or they need to pay 20-40% more than 6k.

Or more like:

HR and senior management would rather the person scoot off him/herself, and then later hire someone else with 20-40% more than 6k. Becoz it is easier to hire new staff with right salary, than to justify why they need to "specially" increment the one existing staff by 20-40%. Becoz otherwise break PSD guidelines.

Of course, unless the staff is from key positions in cornerstone projects (i.e. projects that cannot afford to be extended), in which case they probably would have been well-fed in the first place

You got a point too, but personally I prefer a good working environment for now. :)

5.5k for a fresh grad with ZERO experience is OVERPAID, to be honest.

For example, a lead engineer taking up a security manager role, a leadership should would worth more than any individual contributor role right, not fair to take previous payslip + 20%, that just make HR role SO EASY and anyone can be HR why still need HR specialist?

Yup, I got more than 6 years relevant experience from private, compare with my junior/fresh grad just merely 500 dollars different. sad case when learn the difference.
