1.9=2280 USD give or take depending on the exchange

I would hold out for 2.0 minimum and push for 2.1

The word I've received is do not ever settle for less than 2.0 million won. In my opinion, anything less for all the work involved is insulting.

I was able to negotiate 2.0 million won for the first six months, and 2.1 million won for the final half of the contract. I have no real teaching experience.

Good luck.

Bring your originals with you but keep them in your possession. If someone wants the original photocopy it for them but under no circumstances give up your originals(except transcripts)

You need to factor in location as well. Smaller cities obviously won't offer as much to someone just starting off, generally.

I agree with mindmetoo here.

Look beyind the salary here. A 1.9 job that matches your needs, in a good school with good conditions beats out a 2.0 or higher job with lesser conditions.

Its about the complete package more then about the bottom line here. What will an extra 100 000 won monthly mean to you if you are uncomfortable where you work?

In short, do your homework, carefuly examine the job and pick a job that suits your needs. Also, be reasonable in what you ask for and make sure you have the qualifications and/or experience that would warrant a higher wage demand.

As it was said here, there are plenty of high paying jobs that will leave you in a crap school where you might end up never being paid in full.
