No. I mean 300 USD per month. If I was offered 3000 USD per month I would jump with joy and be extremely thankful. My last job I was earning something like that and people here started to treat me as if I was extremely wealthy.

Damn.

I'm in Australia and don't expect big ticket US paychecks myself, but that does seem low for embedded C dev work - there's some skill required there.

I guess it's all relative to whatever economy you're embedded in though.

Good luck and best wishes going forward.
