Does anyone have information on either of these? I've searched but the internets seem to be rather barren.

Prepare for the longest interview ever. It's about 2-3 hours with 2 teaching demos. There is also a Second interview after this!

Judging from the interview I had last year, they expect korean levels of job dedication and work hours. the words "un-paid overtime" and " it's service to the company" was thrown around alot.

To be fair, if you work hard, I think there is a ladder you can move up. I've known foreigners working ESl who work for their parent company in corporate(still esl-related though). If your gonna be here long term as a teacher, It might make sense to start here.

They have a very high opinion of themselves and it looks like your gonna be earning that extra 200k.

What kind of pay do they offer to start? I made a connection and I'm trying to determine whether to follow up on it or not.

2.1-2.5

I was told my pay would be accessed after I signed a contract based on experience

But they told me almost no one starts off at 2.1 or 2.2

Man, that's low. One of my Korean buddies told me he was really impressed with their curriculum, and an opportunity for upward mobility would be nice, but working more than I do now for less money doesn't sound too appealing. Nonetheless, I think I'll follow up.

The other school is an SAT prep hagwon. What is average pay at those joints these days?

For SAT, 25,000 at the low end, and the sky's the limit at the other. Teachers who can create a demand can earn a lot of coin.

I know the Korean SAT scene inside and out. Feel free to PM me if you need any specifics.
