I've always started lvl 1, I didn't even know ppl started at higher lvls
Almost all campaigns I ran I'd have them start level 3-5 depending on what stories I wanted to tell. Pathfinder 1 the first couple levels are trash anyways and I personally felt like I didn't have much interest with my own characters until I could see their unique abilities start to come online, so that's where I liked to start players in my own campaigns
When I played a leveled system, typically we'd start at level 1 but the first few sessions would each end in a level up.
