Happened to me couple of times. But the positions they were asking were junior than me, so I didn't apply.
Perhaps they wanted you to multitask. :D

If the package is good than what you are getting now, then you can change. so that we can learn different new things. this is my personal opininon.
Regards, Koushik. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

Be careful when you are in Multitask.

From what I know, since junior positions involve little responsibility they come with a lesser pay package.

You'd be surprised how often that turns out to be untrue. A couple of times in my career I found that new hires, fresh out of school, were being hired at a rate higher than I was earning after several years. A combination of external market forces, and internal cost controls can lead to a situation when annual raises don't keep up with talent shortages. That's when things get weird, and HR types don't understand that if they give you a 10% raise, but hire a newbie at 20% more than you're making, you're going to look elsewhere. That was one of the reasons I left General Dynamics, though not the most important reason, in 1983. I hired on in 1978 at $21k and received far above average raises for five years. But in the meantime the market changed, EEs became scarce, and they were hiring new grads at $34k - a bit more than they paid me after 5 years of service. It never occured to HR that maybe it was a good time to re-evaluate all salaries, and to adjust them to align with the current demand, as that would cost the company $$$.

Wow that must be hard on senior employees. Doing things like that doesn't look motivating at all to those who have stuck with the company in it's good and bad phases. :(

All companies do it, and no, it's not good for morale. I was raised in the good old days, when an employee trusted an employer to take care of him, and the employee in turn, took care of the company. Those days are long passed. Once upon a time, if I got a resume that showed less than ten years of service at each job, I threw it out. Job hoppers are worthless. But in the "modern" world, if you don't actively manage your opportunities and move to where the income lies, you're a fool. It's unfortunate that it's come to that, because - I think - both the employer and the employee benefitted greatly when there was a common respect for their mutual interests. But corporations have long since abandoned any semblance of respect for their employees; there no longer exists any reason for an employee to feel any loyalty to any employer. What a shame, and such a loss for all of us... :((

Actually, our manager recently deployed to Afghanistan, and they're trying to find a replacement for the seven months remaining on the contract. The contract is going away in October and being converted to Civil Service.
