If you're a bachelor, then that amount will suffice. There are 1 bedroom apartments available now for 3K - 3.5K. You will not have much expenses on grocery, because I reckon you will eat out.

All in all I'd say it is average to begin with considering you have 3 years of experience.

Are they not providing housing?

If they are it is a good package, if not, it's ho-hum.
