The main issue is that I will have to stay and live there for at least 3 years therefore I will loose all my life here and forget all in my home town. I must go there to save big money against lost life here not only to get simple job. I have good job here but I won't gain more and build up my profile.

It's a very strong offer to start off with but it depends on your current lifestyle. I agree with everyone that you'll be able to save a sizeable nest egg.

Congrats on accepting the offer.

Best of luck

Yep, for a Bachelor it's pretty decent. Even if your into a pretty lavish lifestyle you should be able to get some savings.

Salamoon ...if you are single its a good salary... you can also save 50% of your house rent allowance.. you can find good one/two bed apartments for 7.5k..

compare it with your current salary and benifits...and tax free is a plus!

Since accommodation and transport expenses are taken care off, it looks to be an okay deal if your a bachelor. If your married with kids, you'll probably need to negotiate for a better deal.
