Job offer in KL. Is the compensation package adequate?

Hi,

I have just joined the forum and this is my first post. My query is related to a job offer that I have received from a leading Public Relations consultancy in KL for the position of Account Manager.

While the role sounds interesting, I am only worried about the salary being offered. The offer on the table includes the following:

1. Salary of RM 8000 per month
2. Bonus - nothing specified but will be a factor or profitability, performance, etc. The firm has apparently paid out a bonus each year for the last few years
3. The firm will cover shipping costs and also provide one way airfare for one person from India to KL
4. 18 days annual leave
5. Cover with Group Term Life and Hospital & Surgical insurance
6. Will cover accommodation for upto 30 days at a hotel close to the work place

My wife and I are mulling over the offer and at the same time she is also looking for a suitable job in KL but are also preparing for the scenario where I would be the only earning member for a few months.

We dont have kids, but do plan to start a family shortly.

We don't have a very lavish lifestyle but do like socialising with friends often (currently know no one in KL ). We also don't plan to immediately buy a car and will use public transportation.

Given all of this, we have the following questions:

1. Is this offer sufficient for 2 people to live a comfortable life? I am assuming that my wife should be able to get a minimum offer of RM 6000 at least (she is a Lead Financial Analyst).
2. Are there any factors that I am missing out? I do have some scope for negotiation and want to make sure I get the best possible package.
3. What would be the expenses that we will incur monthly.

Any inputs will help.

Thanks,

Parik
