what is it and how did you go about getting it? Are you still there? etc. I am not talking about a promotion from one job to another (i.e. teacher to head teacher). I am talking about just a renewal contract raise.

I work at a decent hakwon, and I got my raise by teaching my classes, and proving myself to be an actual teacher rather than a typical backpacker/babysitter/hangman-bingo player. I had a decent starting wage, then received a noticeable raise and a bonus when I agreed to my second contract. Coming up time again for renewal, pretty sure last contract's offer will not be matched, but I can hope....

All the teachers at my last uni got two 100,000 raises in the four years I was there. The pay is crap, even for a national uni--1.9 for TESL, 2.0 for MA.

"The most you've ever gotten" gets my vote as one of the ugliest sentences I've ever read in my whole life.

lol. Why is that? It's grammatically correct. Sure, you can say, "The most you have ever received". Man.....that's what I get for being casual on these boards. Wink

I get taken to the red light zone once a week now instead of once a month, but no raise in terms of money.

Not in a language institute but my company gave me a 40% raise to stay. Does that count?
