Anyone with varied experience, please add your two cents.

1) Hagwon with highly motivated elementary students in Cheongna International City or 2) position at Paju EV?

Hours 1) 1:30-10 2) 9-6
Both have really good accommodation.
Same salary.
Both are 30-40 mins from Hongdae.
Cheongna looked super nice when I went there but the EV seems to have many great amenities too.
1) Two NETs 2) 50 NETs

Choose the one with the least amount of foreigners!

50 nets = easily replaceable

If 1 goes, they are still at 98%

With 2, they drop to 50%. They would need a teacher immediately available to replace you.

But if you like being a slave and not being allowed to run your classes the way you want, go for the hagwon.

You are saying the EV has 50? That would be a definite no. How on earth can 50 teachers do this while living at the same location? Is it a cult?

Don't the Paju EV teachers still live in shitty dorms on campus? I wouldn't exactly call that great accommodations..
