a qa project manager

Indian company offers

Are there companies in India that do offer packages based on experience and expertise rather than previous salary? Or is it only based on urgency of the position to be filled in such cases? (considering the field is not niche)

Got terminated after completion of training, for more than 3 months we got non technical training and they assessed only based on our English communication, and don't know why they kept 3 rounds of interview before offering the job. It was a horrible experience where my entire career got collapsed, not only mine more dhan 200 candidates that I know faced the similar situation.

Good experience but if revenue is down for few quarters, the cost cutting process kicks in. The recruitment of replacements is also delayed and if they do not find a candidate with their salary requirements they will not hire you
