never tell until they ask. Razz

around 2 months before your contract ends, you need to get the ball rolling with finance people to start preparing for your departure (exit allowance/airfare, severance, deposit refund, etc.).

Since it sounds like you really don't like it in Korea, are you sticking it out just for the severance and airfare?

After 6 months, you don't have to pay back the money for coming to Korea. You might be able to put yourself in a better position, say June or July, if you simply give 30 days notice now and find new work back home or wherever you are going.


Pretty much. There's only 2.5 months of normal class left, and then a couple weeks of summer camp. Patience. That's what I keep telling myself. I have enough hobbies to keep me busy, so it's not all terrible here. Just a little longer.

Update- Sweet! I talked with my school this week. Because of how the school year works here, I would only miss one school day. So they had no problem on approving my vacation. They still get their three weeks of summer camp, I get to leave early and get paid. All is fair.

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't sure if it could be done, but now it will!
