you'll be best off if you have an F visa. most business english jobs are part time, and you'd be unable to do that on an E2 visathe british council are the best for teaching adults full time. i've heard a lot of negative things about the korean adult hagwons, though (the ones with split shifts, like you mentioned)

https://www.waygook.org/index.php?topic=17415.00 prep/ no stress? Then you should stick with elementary teaching but if you want to teach adults, they can tell immediately that you haven't prepped your class and they get up earlier and get home much later than you, so the 7 am time slot is just what comes with the job.I didn't mind getting up early, if anything, it gave me so much time to study during the day. If you want to spend your evenings doing whatever till 4 am, wake up at 1 pm. and leisurely roll out of your bed 10 min before your 2 pm. class starts, then you might complain about the split shifts. The people that were struggling getting up early, were the ones... uhm...on a beer diet.My colleagues were nice and afaik if you just behave professionally there won't be any problems. The people that did leave had students drop out on them, but tbh. I wouldn't want to come to a class where my teacher clearly had no clue how to teach people and was making spelling errors. My guess is that the majority of the bad reviews is because of the large teacher turnover, meaning that they get to process a lot more of the 'trying out teaching esl for shi ts and laughs' crowd and adult students just don't accept that. They treat each contract case-by-case I think, because I was interviewed by a kyopo and another teacher (a Mormon) was interviewed by a white guy. Our contracts were different, too. He had to work Saturdays, I didn't and he also got less pay. I just went over my contract step-by-step with the manager. I think you shouldn't consider anything less than 3 million with your MBA, provided that you will prepare all of your classes well because if you're a lazy teacher, no matter how 'cute' or 'fun' you are in class, you will get that one student with that annoyed look and before you know it, you are in the 1 student left death spiral.It's a business after all and adults can enroll last-minute and be gone the next month. Just remember it's illegal for them to send you out to teach somewhere else, even to another branch. (I was sent out to kyobo for a month, unaware that it was illegal for me to do so.)
You seem to be a lovely teacher and with such a business background you'll do well. Perhaps you should also consider other options, because your skill set makes you a bit over-qualified to be working in Korea. Most ESL teachers just 'fake it' but you'd be able to really draw on your experience.
