If you are talking about English education you are guided by what the system is set up to provide you with based on your experience and academic qualifications. That will be your only bargaining chips in the negotiation. Don't get too excited and think you are going to command more than the prevailing wage because it just isn't going to happen.
If you are talking about industry or professional employment, then it might be different depending on your skills and the industry in which you are seeking employment. I hope it works out for you. |

| Okay, sorry y'all. I forgot to mention that I was talking about teaching English in Korea. This will be my first time teaching in Korea. I have a bachelor's degree in education and have experiences teaching in public schools for 2 years. If a school was offering me 2.5 mil won, does that seem reasonable? Thanks for your input! |

working I guess.. the foreign teacher that I got to talk to said that I'd be working the whole time while I was at the school. He said that the teaching hours are usually 4-5 hours but the rest is planning time...and a little lunch break in between.

It all depends on where you'll be working.
If you get a job with Wonderland school @ 2.5 mil, you're alright. |

If you're teaching at a public school as an assistant English teacher, that's a perfectly acceptable salary. You're not going to get much higher. They should also be paying for your accomodation.
Make sure the contract limits your teaching hours per week.
However, if you have a teacher's license and you have public school experience, you may be able to work at an international school. The pay should be higher, you will be teaching students with much better English ability, and you will have much greater control over your immediate teaching environment.
There's certainly downsides to teaching at international schools as well, but as I've never worked at one, I can't say. Still, it's something you should look into. |
