To the OP:
To the fellow above: I would seriously consider whether it is worth it to give up your severance to cut out of a contract a month or two early. Maybe you should consider looking at going to Japan in the fall. If you're working at a hagwon and you and the owner are on good terms, you can probably get them to extend your contract for a month or two. They probably wont mind since reliable teachers are hard to find. You'd be doing them a favor.


Your right, it's not worth it. I would lose out on my severance, pension, and housing security deposit, that's over $3000. Furthermore, I am on good terms with my principal/teachers and I wouldn't want to screw them over in any way. I don't work at a hagwon, it's a public school so they have to play by the rules.
.


If you've only worked 1 year - your housing deposit, pension and severance should be closer to 5,000,000W at least, but that's for the other board. Wink

Good luck with whatever your decision!

Right, that's for the other board but I'm glad it's more than I imagined, I lost an envelope with 60000yen at Narita last week so I could use all the cash possible!

And thanks for the well wishes, I'll need it!
