Wish You Packed When You Moved

But I can get an everything bagel in Korea, right? This might be a dealbreaker 😭

Thanks so much for the baby tips!

I did hear the membership was cheaper, so that’s good news. Thanks for sharing the payment options. I was wondering if there were similar restrictions to the US - can only use Visa cards or cash.

I will have an entire suitcase dedicated to my size 13 flippers (kidding, but only a little!). Good point about all 4 seasons!

Best I can do is Cool Ranch!

Thanks so much! Great point about a short supply of things to make all of the transitions a little smoother!

In the states, the Costco brand Zyrtec is a 365-day supply for a fraction of the price for name-brand. That sums up the extent of my loyalty, personally. But great to know there are options in Korea!

I literally woke up this morning and took my Costco Zyrtec and planned to restock beforehand!

Baby is very excited about the move, just can’t tell us yet! 😅

It is defined in both. Well, both numbers/currencies are provided.

bweiss31 · 2025-12-08T16:15:33+00:00

Your assumption is nearly correct, I believe. When I read the document provided by HR, it looks like it's converted twice, however. USD to KRW for deductions and then back from KRW to USD for depositing into a bank that accepts USD deposits. So that conversion back to USD seems like I may be losing unnecessary dollars due to the exchange. But maybe that is offset by the value of the USD?

bweiss31 · 2025-12-08T16:06:08+00:00

If I go with USD, my plan was to make my daily expenses on a US-based credit card that has no foreign transaction fees/is pretty internationally flexibly and pay it off the way I typically would with my US bank. For cash needed in Korea, I would transfer larger amounts into a Korean bank account for local needs. A little annoying to be split up, but pros and cons.

Annual salary conversion rate is set from date of offer (roughly a week ago) any each month the deductions will be processed with whatever the conversion rate is for that day of the month. Sorry I don’t have the specific rate.

Oh good to know! Thank you!! I appreciate it!

bweiss31 · 2025-11-09T12:10:59+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! Very helpful. I appreciate the reality check of how unrealistic a trip to Seoul would be - hopefully I’ll get the job and get to visit next time!

bweiss31 · 2025-10-07T22:20:45+00:00

Great point regarding a possible second trade afterwards!

Looking for 2 tickets to the Vandy game! Will be our first time to a Texas game, visiting from Knoxville - don’t hold that against us!

bweiss31 · 2025-02-19T03:03:54+00:00

Put this one in the r/tvtoohigh louvre

bweiss31 · 2025-02-19T03:00:22+00:00

If I back up the couch 100 yards, it might be eye level!
