Why be depressed?
That sounds to me like this company was looking to recruit someone
from a University research group,
and salaries in that range are attractive to someone on postdoctoral
scales - have a look sometime at academic job adverts. Quite often
someone with a few years as a postdoc will be looking for something
which is not on short-term grant funding, and a move to industry is
attractive for that reason. A salary of 28K would attract that person.

Also you should consider that a Masters degree, or a PhD for that
matter, is not an automatic passort to a high salary.

And I do happen to have  a passing acquaintance with numerical
computing and computational fluid dynamics.
