Appreciate the feedback, bros. I'm not married to the idea of Taiwan as a permanent stay for the reasons stated above, but I figured it could be a good balance of CoL/QoL while I try to pursue an online masters and actual teaching license on the side over the next 2-3 years. After that, who knows. I was working like 50 hours a week in Korea and was only getting paid like $1,750USD a month (tbf the studio apartment excluding utilities was subsidized), so I was hoping a public school contract would get me some better hours and benefits. I have a Taiwanese friend in Kaohsiung and I heard shit is much cheaper down there and the schools are probably a little more relaxed so I will probably look for work in the south.
One last question: how much should I be budgeting for my first few months? I have ~$3,000USD set aside for airfare, visa shit, rent + deposit, food, transportation, etc. I tried running the numbers through Numbeo and looking on Forumosa/R*ddit, but a lot of it is either before COVID or for Taipei and a lot of people say Numbeo is bullshit. Would this be enough if I stick to the south or should I try to save up some more?
