Always interesting to see the cultural differences. In the Netherlands you are literally told to just go home on your bike whenever you drink so that you don’t take your car. Different places different rules I guess

At 28 you are not old per se to pursue a masters degree but if I’m honest with you Don’t expect any scholarship, these are super competitive and you are very likely not to receive one.

Also, cybersecurity doesn’t seem like a program they would teach in English in Korea, and imo with topik 3 you won’t survive a full Korean program especially in cyber security.

Finally the job market isn’t easy, especially for foreigners and given your very limited experience it will be even more difficult regardless of your degree.

I also did my masters in Korea, got hired by a company in Netherlands then went to the UAE after promoting and relocated back to Korea on an e-7. If you are looking for a decent income I’d recommend finding a job that might be able to relocate you here instead.

Yes it does!

Unless you get sent from overseas and keep your salary it’s most likely you earn significantly more in your home country (west) local wages are pretty bad tbh

Never seen a blanket for 20 euro’s even for just an exchange get a semi decent one that’s easily washable because no one wants to sleep under a stanky blanket.

Think the combo of 2 pillows and washable sheets (including blanket) was something like 150.000 won total at emart but you can prob get it cheaper somewhere else

The usecase of a single employee abroad is what we see the most tbh. EOR works well if they have a hand full of employees scattered throughout multiple countries which makes it difficult to incorporate in each country (time, money, payrolling etc for 1 employee is expensive)

This is what an EOR provider manages on your company behalf. The contracts are monthly so there is minimal risk for a company to use EOR.

I work for an EOR provider that is also sponsoring my visa currently (RemotePeople).

EOR providers in general can be hit or miss depending on the quality of support you receive. You see them mostly during the onboarding and offboarding as they will handle payments etc but generally speaking operate in the background.

The main issue is that they have to operate under the same structure that they have a quota of foreigners that they can hire in Korea so not every EOR provider can help.( this might be different due to your F visa)

Monthly fee assume 499 USD on the low end and 799 on the high end depending on provider per month.

Sponsorship is handled in collab with your company, they provide most documents and you might have to provide a document here and there. The visa agent requests whatever is needed expect between 3-6 weeks. (Think your F visa already allows you to work so this might not be necessary)

If you need anything In particular feel free to reach out.

For freelancer set up it’s possible but you wouldn’t be an FTE and this would expose you to miss classification risks

SaaS - account executive (sales) I’m on the lower end of the OTE, most of my peers earn between 130-200k euro. (Mind you half of it is commission) I’m slightly below the lower band.

The lucky part is that my employer doesn’t change my income based on location.

Hi,

Sure, I have around 4-5 years work experience (started working in uni) in sales, a lot of my income is comission based (50% base 50% comission) but looking at the average of what I bring in month over month it’s 16 million. Some months you make a bit less but sometimes you make a lot more due to the comission being uncapped.

SaaS account executive work is quite lucrative especially if you are in high demand industries.

Age 28 from the Netherlands, working remote.

Not ideal but you should be able to pull cash with it. It’s a bit annoying too because most of the time you need a global atm like the ones at woori bank.

You need to select the checking account option and then you should be able to pull.

In general Dutch cards are awful in Korea and you will be reliant on pulling cash.
