hi Zaher, yeah I agree there are laws but in some countries only.
Countries like India or neighboring countries like Pakistan, Nepal don't have these laws. Still, we need to have payslips from previous companies as proof of what we were getting and some may ask for bank statements in case no payslips.
Negotiations can be made, but only if companies mention the salary or salary range in job post details but no one does.
Speaking of the US working as a contract directly or indirectly, like, we don't get insurance, allowances, or other benefits. But still, salaries and bonuses work well, at some.
But the again same issue here like, because of the competition of people from different countries, instead of giving a fixed salary, they will like to look for hiring someone with less pay.
Situations, policies are different everywhere.
Like they do not depend only on the salary we get.

HI Hotcoder,
yeah, there has been a hike in almost all things in India, because of corrupt practices. But working here is about staying in your own country with your families, where you can manage.
But in other countries, you are on your own, until you get a good job to support yourself

I am not arguing that what you have said is wrong, I am just voicing my own opinion on the topic.

Everyone has his own situation, like for example, when I forced to leave Syria, it was not something I did by choice, and there for I had to face so many challenges, some I was able to overcome by working remotely. And for sure each country has its own rule which we can't generalize (like saying all software developers are getting $200k/y because this is what someone is taking in the US or EU .. etc).

Lets be honest, Its a corrupted industry supported by corrupted systems.
