So what would be too low for your standards? 2k? 1k?

2) ST for $3.8K but 1 year contract. No guarantee of employment after that.

I am thinking that I rather join ST and then find for another job next year. Micron's base offer seems too low and given the OT/high-stress culture, does not seem worth it to me.

Which one is better?

However, as you "jump ship", the next company might offer slightly higher than 3.4k offered in Micron because of anchoring bias. Hence, your 3.8k in ST might land you a better pay next job.
In your view, do you reckon work performance can help to get rid of the anchoring bias?

Job hunting might not be a pleasant experience after all.
That is a good point. I think the OT pay also can help to bridge the gap.
