    I took a lower paying job when I graduated college(school and I 
don't do well), but I found this to be true.  I negotiated a much higher 
pay with in a year and half because I provided that much value to the 
company(at one point I gave my two weeks). 
    Now I may have gone to work for another company at a higher initial 
pay that was less willing to negotiate, and would have been worse off.
    So I agree you might be better off going to work for a company at a 
lower pay if that company is willing to raise your pay higher quicker, 
but it's hard to know that unless you know someone who is already 
there.  I just got lucky.
