Rhum if you would be earning more than what you are earning back home take into consideration if you have a family and can available a family package and handle the separation from your native country then go for it. The package might be high or low for others but the most important thing is you are happy with it.

Also, if you have family coming with you, please ensure you will receive school fees and don't forget private healthcare. Your housing allowance is pretty low for someone coming from the UK too.

I'm no expert, but your offer sounds incredibly low for someone with your experience.

my husband is a QS here from the UK and he earns significantly more than that. This is not a good offer. Check out what the competition is offering before you accept, you might get an even better offer. Good luck.
