Is 50k a year for a permanent job with benefits working from home good?

[Longwaytogo]

I recently started working for a US-based web company as a social media manager and that's the offer I got: 50k yearly salary +bonus with benefits, working from home all the time, flexible schedule. I live in Montreal and I was wondering if that's a good deal compared to other jobs.

50K is USA dollars that is a good salary. It would depend on what you need to live of course.

Check salary.com for an answer. But keep in mind that working from home could easily save you enough that you should probably add about 10% (so, $55k) to that offer.

Well it really matters; I mean by no means is 50k bad, a lot of well educated people are making less. But do you have a degree? If you don't then you hit a jackpot with that, if you do then that's around average. I know one of my teacher from High school that I'm now friends with makes 35-40k A year, and is 100% content with it, lives in a small house in phoenix, has a dog, has a yard, no debt. It really boils down to what you need to live and satisfy the lifestyle you want to live.

Something is fishy about this. If they ask you for money RUN.
