USA Salary vs Indian salary. Confused with H1B offered package

Got cleared H1B lottery this year. Probably traveling by this year end.
But confused with H1B offered package in Jacksonville Florida. Is it worth going or not?

US offered salary - 87k PA
Indian salary - 19 LPA
Wife- 16 LPA (She won't be able to work on H4 visa if we go. We are trying for Visa sponsorship from her org)
Baby- 1.5 years old
Major focus- savings with career progression and some global exposure as well.

If focus of saving then I doubt you will save much in this salary until and unless you stay is small house, save money on every occasion. Now a days rent itself will take around 1500 for you.. few plus points:
1. Kids education is free there..
2. Quality of life is good
3. If company is ready to file green card for you then your wife will be eligible to work. On h4ead she can earn more than you
4. If long term goal is to settle down there then you can switch there and can easily get 120k

It depends on your priority, looking for short term or long term etc

Then go for that.. long term means you will settle down there.. so go there.. get some experience.. then shift to other company.. more oppertunity and more money there

Please pack your bags.
