I just got a job offer from a school in Seoul where a friend of mine works. It is a public school job and the salary doesn't seem so great. 2.1. I have a TESOL and about 4 years experience teaching so I am hoping for a bit more. Is this negotiable? I am wondering how I go about mentioning that I would like to negotiate the price in a way that won't be seen as offensive. My friend has told me great things about the working environment there, so I am interested, but not for 2.1. Should I bother trying to get the salary up to 2.3, or just look for another job?

No harm in trying. You have a lot of experience.

Ask for more, if they don't accept it then look elsewhere. There are so many jobs about at the moment you will find something that pays 2.3 quite easily.

Good luck.
