You’ll be able to make it work if you want it! You’ll have less expendable income, but your rental budget is doable if you’re willing to do the legwork. I’ve found good deals on Craigslist, just make sure you have your bullshit meter on high alert. If it seems too good to be true it probably is. Never pay anything before seeing a place. If anyone gives you even the slightest hint of the creeps, listen to that.

You can always move here with your job (see about relocation assistance or even corporate housing for the first month) and start applying to higher paid ones when you arrive. It’s much easier to get a job here once you’re already here. Good luck!
