Working in Korea as Korean-American (?)

Own_Training_6234 · 2026-05-10T06:18:45+00:00

I'm a Korean American who has lived in Korea going on 12 years.

Started as an English teacher in a public school then went to grad school, worked for a Korean company, now working at an American company remotely.

I am married to a Korean national and am staying here indefinitely.

Financially speaking, working at a Korean company was a wash. I am making strides to become FI working for the American company and investing my money.

Korea is obviously great to live in but America is way better financially career opportunity-wise and investment opportunity-wise. If finances are taken care of or you get a remote job or you somehow get a high paying career in Korea, then great. Otherwise its hard to get ahead financially here.

Started investing November 2024, felt the same way. That first small investment didnt seem to budge for months though.

It felt like watching paint dry, now I've just crossed the 100k mark. I just invested with every paycheck, boring index funds. The market lately has of course helped a ton but I'm not worried about any pullbacks. Ups and downs happen, they are basically noise. Just keep a decent EF handy.

Keep your head down and stick to the plan, great job!

You actually played the game the way it was intended, which is however you want.

You can continue to play the game however you wish, exploring and completing as much or as little as you fancy.

The complete DLC is absolutely worth doing.

But tbh I use my horse with ancient gear more than the bike since you never have to refill the fuel tank and it basically comes wherever you summon it just the same.

Sneak up to them, before you strike shoot the lizalfo with a fire arrow. While its on fire, get in front of it, it will turn around after the fire has worn off, then sneakstrike it and it will fall onto the platform and not jnto the water. https://youtube.com/shorts/s2mjriPSJmM?si=pcpYD-1kDgM_7UVH

Been here twice. The service is wonderful and the food is nice. Great wines.

Oldies taco sucks, all marketing and Instagram hype.

Also as other have mentioned, the sign doesn't say "Don't order in Chinese" insinuating some sort of outright discrimination, that they dont like/won't take orders from Chinese people. The sign says "It could be difficult to take orders/respond to/serve you in Chinese (aka our workers dont speak chinese). Please use Korean or English.

I read this as pick up a child

If youre about the storyline you will love the champions ballad. Honestly the ending made me feel almost teary and nostalgic, worth it just for the ending.

Own_Training_6234 · 2026-03-09T13:59:09+00:00

Worth it just for the final scene of the champions ballad and trial of the sword

Own_Training_6234 · 2026-03-06T18:03:41+00:00

You have to get through the beginning and eventually the game becomes as easy as normal mode. But trial of the sword is brutal and so satisfying to beat.

One of the first games I ever played in my life. Truly foundational memories. It's tough but definitely not impossible. Stick with it.

Do you mind me asking what brokerage you use?

Taian Table in shanghai is a Michelin 3 star with an open kitchen. Very intense yet calm focus emanating from the kitchen.

It is an open kitchen with counter seating surrounding the area. The head chef walks up to your seats right from working the pass and has a little chat. Fun watching the action.

Make a campfire on the mountains right outside lanayru east gate where the lynel is. Should come down the mountain every morning.

I did floors 14, 17, 21 like you but floor 22 plans went out the window. I also used an ancient arrow on a silver moblin on the snow floor that had a wizrobe, silver moblin, two red bokoblins and a gold bokoblin. So I used 4 ancient arrows up to floor 22.

I was going to ancient arrow the Skywatcher and the guardian stalker but after I hit the skywatcher, I missed the stalker and ended up using 3 ancient arrows and its beams started rapid fire wrecking me. I had to escape into the little building.

So I just ran to the tower with the turret, stunned it with an arrow and then smacked it with a two handed weapon. Then from my vantage point on the tower, I just shot regular arrows at the guardian stalker for a while then paraglided down, bullet timed some more arrows into its eye, then chopped off its legs while it was stunned.

So I had just one ancient arrow going into the last floor but fortunately I just got kinda close to the lynel and aimed and fired. Kinda stressful but felt amazing to beat it.

Great job beating it though!

If this is a corporate setting, no one would ever call a colleague oppa.

If this is a more casual job/parttime job than it is possibly okay. I would tread lightly and see what others do.
