  No one starts at the top.
  
  Work hard, and you might advance. Remember that pay is not everything. Maybe the experience you get, for example, makes up for the low pay. If you perform well and show results, it might give you leverage to ask for a higher pay.

  Dear Wulus,
  
  I remember you, you were the 1 who kept wanting to improve yourself in the hopes of winning back the heart of your ex. Please note that jobs are difficult to find now, it's a buyers' market. Companies can have their pick of employees at their terms. Sometimes I look at it this way: even if the pay is a little low, if they invest time in my training, & increase my market value later, why Not?
  
  It's a short-term "loss" for long-term gain.

  work hard is not the way. must work smart and work at the right time - office politics. the fittest survive.

  maybe it is time to look for a job abroad. you can start in malaysia.
  
  15 years experience puts you at the age range of 35-40. time is really running out.

  Try more interviews n set your range of your expected salary.....
  For me, i wouldn't wanna let them lower down much of salary...offset of $100-$150 of my current salary is acceptable (That'swhen i do not left with any choice s). Otherwise, i'll not lower down my value.
  
  Also, show them that you're worth that kinda salary which u expected...
  Let them know that we're working in the society and economics and if by giving you/me with such salary, how's the economic going to grow????
  
  Less expenses...
  
  Just giving you some tips which i've used before...So far, my salary has never been lowered though after negotiating...

  Dun be demoralise, wat u need is experience. But dun judge experience by the number of years u worked in the same company doing the same old thing. 10 years of experience = 10 X 1 year of experience.
  
  If you have various exposure within the same industry, ur salary will gradually increase. But at times, luck and opportunity plays a part too.

  nothing wrong of course.
  
  it is just that most people dont take such jobs if given a choice.
