How do international school salary increases normally work?

I’m aware public schools have this annual salary bump system, but I’m not aware what the system normally is for private and international schools.

I’ve heard anecdotally on here it can be performance based, but on what?

I applied to this role (music teacher) as a long shot and I’m kind of in shock I even got considered for it since I have no teaching license and minimal teaching experience and ESL teaching experience (though I have it) doesn’t count. I do have outside performance and professional recording experience in Japan, so maybe the recruiters found that compelling enough to offer to relocate me from Tokyo to Osaka, should my application be ultimately successful.

Salary is lower than I would expect (people on this sub make it sound like Int’l school teachers get this legendary expat package that will pay 10 million yen a year and send all of your kids to school for free), but it’s a legit school and it sounds like they will probably offer a relocation package.

One other thing, I assume that hearing back now would mean I start work around August?
