One secret of earning modest salary is to stick to a company for more than 3 years. By doing this the management will put trust in you and allow you to negotiate your salary upwards.
Another thing you should note is that locals earn more than foreigners, unless foreigners are from prestigious universities like MIT, Oxford, Harvard and Michigan. The worst paid are Africans and Indians, who always provide cheap labour in all sectors because of poor bargaining power
