Hi guys, I’ve reached out by recruiter for a designer role in Korea. I’m IC5 at meta and wanted to make a move If offer is good enough to even consider. They were bot willing to disclose the range but wondering whats most likely salary be for L6-1 or L6-2 for product designer? They told me i have option to get paid in USD and will provide expat package from L6 ( free housing and intl school for kids) I joined meta a year when stock price was $320 a share now it is down more than half. Original TC 165k CAD + 62.5k (250k over 4 yrs)+ 30k signon Current TC 169k CAD + 25k (down 60% from original value) Making peanut due to high taxation in Toronto Just bad timing Anyone who has experience working in korea! Plzzz I’m fluent in both korean and english Thanks!
The housing benefit is amazing for Korea. You usually have to put down like 50k+ USD and then still pay 2k a month to rent. That is pretty nice benefit if you can pick a 2 bedroom in the city. Coupang is willing to pay well. I started interviewing there and asked for like 250k USD which wasn’t an issue. This was for a management position.
Did you take it?
I heard they pay downpayment for house and cover the monthly rent.. and depends on # of dependent but might be able to score 3 bedroom even.. and international school usually costs 20k-30k per kids so not bad at all
Any other inputs here?
I’m relocating there in few weeks, I’ll keep you posted
How’s it been since relocating?
How is it?
If house is covered and intl school. You will do pretty well with 150kUSD. But culture is different...very different. Depends on your adventurous spirit haha
