Whats a reasonable raise per month? I have a feeling that they will offer about 100k won.. Really thats not that much back home I am use to geting around 1 dollar extra an hour which translates to about 160 dollars a month. Can some please advise me what I should expect.

Hope for a hundred and be prepared to be offered nothing.

How long have you worked for them?
How long have you been here?
How was your job performance (received positive feedback?)?
What have you done to improve yourself (workshops, courses?)?

All these play into asking for a raise remember that time in does not automatically translate into quality work and hence warrant a raise.

If you feel you did a good job and that was recognized then a 100 000 - 150 000 Won monthly raise is a reasonable expectation.

Up to you to negociate really.

Good luck!

Ok Wrench,

Then a 100 000 Won raise is more likely but you could ask for 150-160 if you want and then negociate accordingly.
