Job Offer, Low Salary

Hi All,
I have been offered a new job after 6 months of being unemployed. My previous job ended as it was project based. I am happy to have the offer but the salary is quite low, it is just the same like what i had on my very first job. My previous job paid close to 3 times what im being offered and i feel stuck not sure what to do. Working again would be great but im afraid i will not be happy with the salary and takes me back a bit.
I have another project based job coming up in a months time but it will only be for two months but pays more.
I am not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

@Kunaka1000
can you counteroffer?
I know for some that sounds bold but as a friend showed me it cannot hurt to ask....
if in same type work sounds like a big drop....
