Having worked for various levels of government before, I found that they
don't usually offer the top range, because that would mean a salary freeze
sooner. They seen to like to start people mid-range and then give annual
increases. Coming in at top range, you don't have much room to advance,
unless you leave. Government jobs in Canada are unionized, and the pay rates
are negotiated through the union. If you hit the top of your position's
range you have 3 options: transfer to a higher position, accept the salary
freeze or look at leaving your cushy, benefit-rich, union-protected
government job.
