Veryyyyyyyy low salary for a Mechanical Engineer with US citizenship even if graduate. It should not less than 25 000 QR as a package.

Very bad offer, don't accept it, demand triple the offer then only it is worth for your position.

Not a great package for a grad. I suggest you stay in the US until you have more experience.

Not particularly good. The salary is about $18,000 yr and the housing allowance won't get you much. Can you do better in the US?
