Well... if you think running a business and sustain it are just as simple as you think then... may be you should start a business and share with me how to certain your company growth and future forecast.

Employer is not low-ball the candidates, but just to get the best out of the budget they can. When the candidate proved that he is capable, we do not hesitate in adjusting his salary after his probation. That's most HR is doing.

We know why a company does it. To get the best return on their expenditure as possible.

We just don't know why lots of employees are NOT doing it. lt is a negotiation after all. Both parties owe it to themselves to negotiate hard using whatever leverage they have. And giving away one's salary (previous drawn or expected) is basically giving away most of one's leverage. The only leverage remaining (if the offer isn't good enough) is to walk away (or threaten to).
