I would highly appreciate any insights from you guys since I am not that familiar with the cost of living there. Thank you.
First of al you should thank the company who has given this offer to you as you are selected for a position which is quite different than the qualification and experience you possesed.So don't think and just take the offer if you are able to give the company its return for their requirement
u may wish to nego on the housing allwn as rental is pretty high in qtr & may put a dent in your basic salary.
As far as I can see the offering is good, and it's on the average offered.
Not really sure about the salary, but I guess you can go ahead with a counter offer to see what's the response on it?..
