3000 usd is quite tight with the family you can get accomadation if company is not paying for USD 550-600 extras will add to another 250 usd .living will be around 500 Usd ,The balance you can save .Iam not sure if housing is provided else the initial investments in house hold articles will be there.You have second hand shops selling at lower costs
overall it seems a good option depening on your requirement all the best

I think it is a good deal with the kind of nucleus family you have if you are not thinking of living in a upmarket neighborhood.
