As a foreigner you get a lot of slack, especially if you don’t speak Korean, because nobody wants to confront you in English.
But if you really work here as an equal the work culture is brutal. Actually it is - other than the language barrier which is totally on me - the single worst thing about Korea in my opinion. The other stuff you can work around and deal with and there are a lot of super cool things here which make it staying worthwhile. But coming here to work long term, probably not the best idea.
To be honest this country is not ready to deal with immigrants, both in society but especially in the work place.
Very curious about life in Korea
I kind of wanna work there as a programmer from abroad, but how is it really?
