Things to consider:
You can expect to get 10-15K for a TS/SCI w/ counter-intel poly. TS/SCI with full-scope lifestyle poly and can get 30-35K in addition to starting salary. Of course, a lot of how much you can get depends on the number of applicants and how qualified they are...Don't sell your self short - there are plenty of jobs out there. Do some research (like you are) and stick to your guns when it comes to salary / benefits.
Keep in mind working overseas is dangerous. Often times the pay is not worth it. I know guys in Afghanistan that sleep with one eye open because their local national guards can't be trusted. I know other guys in Iraq as contractors working / living in the Green Zone.
Anoter consideration is emergency medical care in austere locations.
Good luck.
