no worry, your housing allowance good for a one br/bath and kitchen. i have an indian friend living with his wife (no kid) in 2,500riyal accomodation. It enough for them. They don't need 5 br villa with lawn, really. unless you're westerner, need everthing in grand scale, huge 4WD, lawn for barbecueing, 3K is good enough.

Not good enough, basic Salary is too low, and the Housing allowance is laughable- you need +5K on Salary and +10K on Housing allowance.

I guess for an experienced engineer this is not a good offer. house allowance is very less, atleast should be +ten if you are married or +7 if you are single........

 

but depends how much are you earning now, and what lifestyle you prefer
