  Hi, I am manual tester, and want to move in automation so learning & training of which one tool will be good for growth in software testing.

  I'd say both. Selenium isn't very hard to master, but QTP can take some time depending your previous familiarity with scripting / programming. Both are quite efficient and frequently used tools. But if you wish to pick up 'one' tool - my suggestion would be QTP; because that's what most of the industry prefers. Selenium would be an icing on the cake. 😀

  Welcome to CE, #-Link-Snipped-# . I can't speak for the entire startup community. You will have to evaluate it yourself. You will need your own reasons to join the company. If it's just for the sake of finding a job in automation - then you should be able to find it elsewhere as well.
  
  If you want to get exposed to building a company while working for it - then the startup company is usually the choice. Depending upon the size of the company and the attitude of the company; you will be exposed to a lot of things.
  
  Evaluate the company. Talk to the founders, existing team and make your decision.
