Since my post yesterday was a bit long winded, I’ll just put a short list of why GEPIK has a bit of an edge over JET.
1. Rent is completely subsidized (my rent with JET was 90% subsidized),
2. Pay raises (JET had no pay raises),
3. Upwards to five weeks vacation: 20 days + 2 weeks at the end of each contract which…
4. …the school reimburses your plane ticket for, and…
5. …severance pay of one month’s salary at the end of each completed contract.
6. You have the option to use “research leave” during the summer (in JET, other teachers have this option, but you don’t. You have to use your paid vacation if you don’t want to be at the school during the summer).
7. Cost of living is way less than Japan.
