seriously, that is a possible case. thanks very much for reminder!

truth is, i don't think I can ask for that high
i'm afraid if too high they will just kick me off without any negotiation

For the start they won't even ask you about your expected salary. I think they will throw you tons of technical and competency questions to make sure that you are the right person for the job. You have to convince them first that you are the right fit before they will consider listening to your asking salary.

is it? I remember someone mentioned that there is no consistency to micron's salary package. I would think that it is a free market and it is fair that they make you the offer that you asked for. They might have put you through the 3 interviews partly because you have asked for a relatively lower salary. Even if they were to offer you something higher, I would think that they will likely give you degree level salary; because you asked for 3k and anything above that will be a comfortable level for you. Though there is no wrong in asking for 3k, I really discourage such action and condemn market spoiler. Imagine if people like you asking for 3k, how bout the fresh local grads? Now I realize why many engineering friends have given up engineering and gone into finance and biz.

when i entered 2 years back, everything is very fixed in terms of the level of honours and if u are holding masters or not. not sure what the other guy is saying, maybe he can share
