No, I do not agree because the standard for professionals coming from Canada and the US is what I stated above. If you want to accept what is less than standard that is certainly your choice. But I get a little tired of some nationalities claiming that they get paid less when in actuality they settled for less! Qatarisun and UKEng also say this offer is low and that you should re-negotiate. I respect their opinions, having known them for many years now.
