Hey 한국🐠 I currently work in the US at a large game company (EA, Activision, etc), and interested in moving to Korea. I’ve had discussions with PUBG and NCSOFT in US but no luck in Korean offices. Advice for an American looking for roles in Korea?

Hey there - the two primary constraints are language and (currently) work authorization.

There’s a pretty big stigma especially around language in most industries except finance and a few MNCs. Clearly you have a basic understanding of Korean but most industry firms look for fluency. Also at the moment even MNCs in Korea are looking for Koreans only (where previously HKers or Singaporeans would’ve been eligible) due to strict Covid-19 quarantine.

The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded.

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?

Working at T2 consulting company, I have the opportunity to go to Seoul for 2-3 years to help establish knowledge transfer and strengthen brand. I have spent 4 months on Korea previously and appreciate the culture and people (from my superficial understanding), however in non work setting.
I feel like it could be a great opportunity. However I do have some respect as I only speak very basic Korean and have heard bad stories about WLB. Thoughts/ Input on either?
