Farhan,
Angola is extremely expensive and for 3000$ I would not work here. You would end up saving nothing and living in the worst conditions ever. The offered salary is on the lower side compare to average salary for an engineer in Angola.
Also you need to consider safety.

Have you moved already? How is it going with the salary you are offered. Do you have any idea about how much Angola pays for finance/insurance specialist?
