Pick based on the location, hours and vacation. No matter what you do you are never going to get an answer that will jive with what your work will be like for you. The hagwon I worked at had a pretty good reputation before I got there. I saw one person get persecuted and fired because the boss wrote instructions on the back of an old homework assignment and put it on his desk with the homework side up. Surprise, he didn't see it. Then there was the Themata thing, which was pretty well cataloged if you want to read it, went down late 2012. Yet more than half the people we worked with would tell you the place was alright. I visited it again right before I left and the people there scoffed when I told them the owners have a temper. They'll learn. Cities are also down to personal taste but you can find hundreds of personal tastes to consider rather than, best case, one or two via phone probably being stared at by their boss as they talk. You can make a pretty educated guess on what city/town you will like. This is a one year job you are applying for. Check the black list sites. Read and post your contract. when you get there keep your head down, make sure they pay you and put yourself in a situation where you can enjoy yourself outside of work. Like Bundang. Go to Bundang.

This thread is remarkably dark for summer vacation season. Normally the longform condemnations of the country happen early February. They didn't even mention the worst part of the country, that there are about 18 days of pleasant weather a year.

) but it's the pervasiveness of it since you're always in completely uninsulated cinderblock and concrete boxes. If a heater is on, the Koreans will either open the windows in order to ensure it doesn't actually heat anything or have it cranked so it's 100 degrees indoors while everyone is still wearing three coats.

Oh right, I always mix up yours and Ian's SA name, which is weird because you two act and post completely differently.

I wish I could keep up with chat but my phone (no one buy microsoft phones) is so poo poo that the Kakao chat causes it to hang for four or five minutes before opening.

My buddy is planning on teaching in Korea, he has teaching experience elsewhere and has a Tesol and all that. Do any of y'all have a go to recruiter. He's Vietnamese-Australian so I'm worried a lot of Hagwons will be mysteriously uninterested in him. He's OK with country positions (Even though I've told him he's more likely to see racism there). Should he be expecting 2.2-2.3 or have wages gone up/down?
