Quite good: $43-50k

Since foreign faculty members are common in South Korea, likely it isn't any tougher than for local faculty.

    Could you clarify what you mean by "Quite good"? That sounds like a fairly modest salary by US standards; is it higher by South Korean standards?

    @Nat Why on Earth would you apply US standards to a Korean salary? The americentrism on this website is crazy. If amara says "quite good" for a Korean salary, there is no reason to assume that it means anything but "quite good for Korean standards".

  • @NajibIdrissi Seems silly to assume stuff when it's so easy to just ask. Ideally, I was hoping for more than just, say, "It's good by Korean salaries", but rather some more explicit qualification, e.g., "It's competitive with other positions a Korean PhD might pursue.".
