No market whatsoever in Malaysia or HK, where the education systems are largely Anglo phone and there are literally millions of fluent-enough natives.

Money and perks are best in Korea. I taught in Thailand for a while and loved it, but the pay is terrible and you won't get housing or flights paid (as you do in some Korean schools).

*Anglophone. Weird autocorrect on my Korean phone.

maybe not for people without a teaching degree. But I have had multiple friends leave Thailand for Malaysia. They actually teach other teachers. They get a good salary, housing, gas, cell phone, and I think food stipend each month too.

Thailand is great fun, but yeah the money sucks, especially when its 35THB/1USD. The high paying international schools are damn competitive since everyone wants to be there.

those markets are all very different. the better the offer, the more like a career position it is.

>maybe not for people without a teaching degree.
Of course. For certified teachers, especially folks with master's degrees or better, there are options everywhere. But for generic 'just got my BA/don't know anything about teaching' "teachers," there are no ESL night school sweatshops like in Thailand, Korea, or Taiwan.

Anyone thinking about Myanmar? Positives/Negatives?

Hey that's me!
I am thinking about grabbing a TEFL and going to glorious Nippon to live out the weeb lifestyle at near-minimum-wage.
Can you shatter my illusions?

I looked into teaching there, but I'm certified 4-8 science, 7-12 biology and General Science, soothe options are pretty good. I can jump to Thailand on long holidays etc.

>near minimum wage

Japan ESL jobs generally work out to about $15 an hour or so. Definitely higher than minimum wage for the US at least. Basically you can be comfortable as long as you're not a club/party every weekend person or heavy drinker. As a single person with no dependents on an ESL salary you'll basically live a comfortable middle class lifestyle, just don't expect to save much money really.

Skip the TEFL cert, you don't need it and it doesn't really give you any kind of leg up for Japan starter jobs. Your best advantage, especially for the eikaiwa schools, is to just be a well dressed normie. Some of the people at my eikaiwa school interview a couple years back were so pathetic. One guy thought dressing up meant wear khakis and fucking argyle zip up sweater. Another mouth breather wore white athletic socks with his shitty ill fitting suit.

Be better than those weebs and you're in. It doesn't take much.
