what company is it ?

This a a expensive place to live in .
If your coming here just to make and save money then its fine because when it comes to a social life there is nothing to do here.

Is 2500$ enuf ..well that depends on your current salary status.

But i feel you could end up saving anywhere between 1500 to 2000$ if your willing to scarifice certain luxuries like eating out often.
cooking at home could save you a decent amount of money .

I don't know your qualification ? Its depend on experience and qualification.

How did you got that offer ?
