Yes indeed,
EXPERIENCE and QUALIFICATIONS are what's under discussion here.
I would like to believe that I'm capable of doing the same job as the CEO/COO, but reality in life is that unless you can show the papers and proof that you have the experience and "what it takes", you're not going to get the job.
"Asking for similar conditions" comes with the expertise and experience that I brought here..something that you obviously don't have as yet.
