Hi,

I have been offered a job teaching in Hanoi with Language Link. The offer is $20 per hour and a guaranteed 50 hours for my first two months and then 70 hours after this.

I was working in Korea last year and have an offer from a public school also there, 18 hours a week and double the Hanoi  monthly salary.

I wondered if somebody could give me any insights / advice on Language Link and Hanoi as a place in general, this could help me decide between the two jobs.

Does anybody know anything about this company? What's your experiences of living and working in Hanoi?  I am trying to decide between a new experience (Hanoi) or a money maker and comfortable Korea where i can make good money and have nice apartment free of rent.

Anything would be useful, thank you!!

$20 an hour is low.  I love Vietnam, but I'd take the job in Korea before I'd go back to Hanoi (at that rate).

Then there's this:  Broken Promises

hi, i see that your post was over a month ago, so I am not sure whether you have decided or not yet.
If you still want to take more advice and experience, I will recommend my teachers in Language Link Hanoi.
I am studying here and like you, my current teacher was working in Korea for 2 years. That's why I believe that his comment will absolutely be helpful for you.
Cheer ^_^
