Got a job offer in my field in Brazil!

1/5 of my after-tax US salary.

Take it. Move up the ladder and leverage your English for an abroad position. Eg. Canada or Europe.

Yep already started looking into Canada.

Looks like all that training in gigolo studies you did in college finally paid off. Congrats carni di burro.

They offered me 6k Reais per month. That's 1.5k dollars. I used to make 7k post tax.

Then I asked for 10k Reais (2.5k dollars), which is already low enough. I thought I was being reasonable, but to them I must have come off as too greedy.

The thing is, I asked for that amount BEFORE they made me the offer, and they didn't object to it. Then they hit me with their low offer by surprise.

I feel bad. I don't think I'm better than anyone else and deserve more. But damn, the salary difference is just huge, and the cost of living is NOT cheap (this job is in a capital city). I do speak practically-native English though, which they badly need.

I should have humbled myself, taken the low offer, and impressed them. In a year I'd be making my 10k Reais.

What do you think I should have done?

I think your dumbass should've stayed up in the States cause once Trump is defeated they will secure the borders AND fix the immigration problem to everyone's satisfaction.
