There is a company that offers 30% less salary for a trial period. I think it's worth going. I just don't understand how to deal with it. Does the company want to save on employees at the initial stage? Or is this normal practice?

Normal practice.

No.
PS Offer to work 30% less in return, then it will be fair.

Of course this is not the best practice and all that. But people who write "No, do not agree", have you ever got a job? Do you think you are the only one for this position? The employer is more likely to tell you "well, ok, go for a walk" and that's it. Such a show off is appropriate if you are a great specialist and are sure that the company wants you in any conditions. And if you are an average statistical specialist, then you will sit at home, complain about work and write on forums that all employers are fools

It depends on the size and solidity of the company. And how much work is needed. From the point of view of the employer, everything is very simple - "you don't know me, I don't know you" - maybe tomorrow you will get up and leave? It is not practiced everywhere, but quite often.

Vicious practice of course, but it happened historically

An increase in salary after a trial period is a common practice, and if the salary offered for a trial period suits you, then why not agree? But at the same time, it is important that the salary increase after the end of the probationary period be spelled out in the contract with specific numbers and conditions.
You should also pay attention to the length of the trial period.

Practice occurs mainly when hiring juniors / interns.
Extremely rare when hiring middles.
Almost never when hiring specialists.
30% is too much, usually 10-20%. But if the conditions of the test are clearly stipulated, you are sure in the company that you can go for it.
Many say that this happens only in shitty companies that are only ready to throw - no, this happens in companies of different levels, and does not mean the intention to throw.
Many people talk about the legislation of the Russian Federation - Runet does not live as a single Russian Federation, IT specialists work not only as full-time employees, not only salary is included in the working conditions, there is also insurance, free courses, and possibly other bonuses that may not be given during the probationary period , and which in total can be noticeable against the background of the RFP.
In your case, look for reviews about the company and make a decision yourself. If you don't like it, you'll leave after 3 months, having gained experience.

In no case. You will be used and thrown out.

Judging by the author's questions, he is a junior.
They offered him a small salary.
-30% and there will be tears in general.
There are 2 options:
1. You are still really weak and can’t pull on the declared money, the employer understands this and is trying to save.
2. They are just trying to save on you

Under normal circumstances, this is certainly not normal. For a long time such game is not practiced in normal companies.
Decide youself.
