| Definitely too low for a hagwon position. The minimum you should be expecting is 2.2. |

| 2.2 should be the absolute lowest you should consider,,,and even then there should be at least a couple special considerations in your contract since you have proven you can fulfill a one year obligation. |

Depending on what the conditions are - hours, vacation, etc.
6 hours a week and 5 months paid vacation is not bad |

lol
1.8 million!!!
Have you seen the exchange rate lately?
Not to mention the cost of living is probably 10% higher than it was two years ago.
This thread made me laugh out loud. |

| It's not a bad salary if you are living in 1996. |

I assume it's better than 0, which is what you're probably getting right now back west. |

| I get paid 1.8 for a very easy elementary PS job. I can save a fair amount and I'm in Busan which is a perk. But I wouldn't take the wage for a hagwon job which is going to be far more work and less holiday. And especially seeing as it's your second year here. A while back people reckoned 2.4 was a decent hagwon job, but now I think there's more agreement around 2.2. |
