The point is that no matter how awesome you are, future jobs will typically be priced as a percentage of past pay.

There are exceptions, but that is the general rule.

Meh. My experience is that most jobs pay you shite at the beginning and then a lot more later to keep you.

If you focus on getting valuable experience, you will get offers for a lot more than your buddy who negotiated hard at a whatever job making a lot more money.

Now if you're talking about a plant worker that is non union, this might be true.

I started out in the upper middle of my MBA class and I'm now in the rope 2 or 3 in comp. I know it's anecdotal, but that's been true for most of my hard grinding coworkers as well.
