What are the pros & cons of working in Korea through the govt run EPIK Program vs. dealing through a private recruiting company?
Thank you |

Do you mean
a) applying for an epik job directly through the epik website and cutting out the recruiter as opposed to applying for an epik job through a third party recruiter.
or
b) applying for a public school job with epik as opposed to applying for a private school (hakwon) job with a recruiter.
If the answer is a) then I, too, am interested in any information. |

A&B. I heard with EPIK they decide the location, and the higher salaries are out in the boonedocks of tim-buck-two, while in a city they have lower salaries. To me this didn't make sense as a city has a higher cost of living, they said it's to incurage people to work out in the middle-of-nowhere. How does this compare to a public school/hawkon recuriter organized experience? |

it is not that expensive to live here. Unless you are in Seoul. Criminal what they charge for some things there compared to everywhere else. |
