I was honest and gave my 30 days notice last week. I said that my reason for leaving was that I didn't like the city, shity apartment, long bus ride to work etc... I told the director that if the airfare is too much then I want to stay in Korea and get another job. I said if it is a reasonable price, then I want to go back to my country. Was that a good idea?

So, what are the chances that I can get another job in Korea? I don't see why there would be any problem, do you? Visa run at next job etc.. no problem, right? Can I expect to get my degree returned and deposit back? No, my director is not an honest person. So what advice can you give? Rolling Eyes

There's no reason why they should have your degree. Immigration gets a notarized copy, but the school has no need of anything but a regular photocopy if they need anything at all.

What kind of advice do you want now that you've hijacked SpecialK's thread?

Since you resigned mid-contract, you'll need to get a letter of release in order to get a new job. If your employer gives you that, then you'll have no problem getting a new job. Keep in mind that the employer has no obligation to provide a letter of release.

I've got quite a good setup over here, but I just miss home and I know this isnt' for me. I figure I might as well realize that now and take the gov't job since I have the offer Smile


Nice.
