Agreed. Most of YOU earn more than 3K before 25YO except me hehehe but seriously:

I assume that relevant experience is the guideline to decide the salary, but if you talk about age, younger crowd esp. fresh grad tend to be more eager and are more open to innovation. Thats how I got *tricked* into my current job too, the promise of being allowed to innovate.

Asking salary is very subjective, most companies oredi have a set budget no matter what ur asking price is. Its not often that the hiring department (e.g. IT) can tell HR to offer beyond their salary scale or make exceptions.

If ur a fresh grad, go for the challenge. If you get easy job as first job later damn suffer...

Hehe is that RM or RPM? Fair enuf lah I agree too...

The going is very tough right now with all the increasing expenses. Most companies also gonna transfer the increase to consumers as well as their own staff also - i.e. making tougher appraisals, less welfare and all sigh...

To be fair I don't believe they WANT to take low salary, sometimes its the situation where they oredi 3 months no rice to eat, have to get a job, or the employer promise all sorts of things and you believe the bugger, and such.

On the other hand where got ppl just join and ask for raise one???!!! Thats a sure way to get blacklisted...

Izzit? No wonder post oredi then disappear lah...
