First impression on this thread:
This new employer
Doesn't have the good reputation to attract bright graduates. Thus, always encountered whiner grads and got fed up.
Is not willing to pay
(The more you pay, the more likely you will get applications, bright grads, whiner grads, if you don't have the "eyes" to filter out the whiner bunch, well....call yourself a quality employer?)
Let me share some of my experience:
For the past 2 years I have been working for chinaman
1st company: 1xxx (Initial Pay)
2nd company:
I went for interview knowing I have got the skills and capability after thorough research on the minimum pay as well ~
The HR asked me about my pay, I told them about my current(shouldn't have) and expected as well
HR: Don't you think it's quite a big jump?
ME: No, based on the scope and my capability I think I am currently underpaid
Turned out, they gave me (Expected - 20%) (Coz they think it's a big jump)
Lesson ONE: NEVER REVEAL YOUR CURRENT PAY
2 Months later:
I was interviewed by a non-chinaman company, didn't even ask me about my expected and current pay...offered me pay very close(slightly higher) to what I have known from my research (Happy until now)
So....chinaman bossess....stop your bullshits please
NOTE: I'm no whiner, I know my stuffs very well.
P.S.: Chinaman's behaviour
- Always likes to make employee thinks it is not as straightforward as what it seems to get promotion (not even meeting KPIs)
Met KPI? Sorry I think your soft skill is still lacking to take up this role (You need Boot-licking 101)
- Makes all this whole salary scale as blurry and misty as possible

Salary discussions should stop
