Hello! I'm a US citizen who has been working in Korea for about a year now. I currently live in Itaewon and have been offered a job related to US law at a Korean conglomerate. I'm curious about what it's like to work as a foreign lawyer in Korea. Has anyone here had a similar experience? I'd like to know the pros and cons, as well as what a suitable salary level would be for someone with over 10 years of experience in US law. My biggest concern is whether it will be difficult to find a similar or better job when I return to the US later on. Has anyone worked in Korea and then returned to the US? Was it difficult to adapt, or was it okay? I would appreciate any advice! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!
