Not necessarily.
A lot of people will start out with an entry level salary. The real salary won't kick in until 1-3 years later. I was given a 20-30% raise this year, depending on how much bonus i can collect.

Interesting. I've never worked at an employer or known anyone who has where that is the norm. I'm not sure I like that model. Most career advancement-minded people tend to stay 2-3 years at a position before moving on to something new (either by internal promotion or finding a new employer), so not having the "real" salary kick in until after 1-3 years seems punitive. I'd be pretty unhappy if I was being paid 25% below what my position is really worth just because I was new to the job.
