Debating between working for ECC, Aeon, or EPIK program.
I received offers from Aeon and ECC. Aeon gave a placement option that would be available for August (Island placement). ECC seems more appealing for work conditions, placement options and most likely start between September and December window. I would be hoping for September.
EPIK, I still need to wait for my interview result, which I expect this week or sooner. I like the overall job and structure to the government programs like EPIK/JET. But I do feel like I could be missing out on an opportunity to live in Japan with ECC or Aeon. However, I feel like I could more easily burn out at Aeon/ECC, and not actually have the energy or time to properly explore the cities on off time. South Korea seems beautiful, very vibrant cities and good food etc..
But its hard to know where I'd be placed yet if I'm even selected.
I have choices, but I'm feeling decisive 🥲 if y'all could pass some wisdom with your takes or experiences within Japan vs south Korea, or government vs Eikawa, that would be much appreciated. 💞
