It's pretty much a guaranteed work visa to the country of your choice. As long as you speak English well and are personable with kids, you need very little skill in the native language of your students. You'll learn most of it when you're living there, anyways.

Food for thought, for anyone thinking about abandoning any sinking ships.

Do you have it better in your country?

Better jobs than being a low level English teacher in a foreign land? Well yeah, of course.

Low level? English teachers are highly desired in other countries. You can make between $1,000 and $1,500 a month doing it in Russia. Keep in mind the monthly cost of living there for a single person in a city is $500, including rent. Do you save $1000 a month after your expenses?

I've been an EFL teacher, it's not like that and not that easy for everyone. Most entry level english teaching positions pay almost nothing.

The jobs you see that pay that much a month require a lot of directly relevant experience, education, and connections, like a master's degree in TEFL and/or 5+ years experience teaching english. There's ZERO chance a Russian college, university, or international school (where the decent money is made) is going to pay some FOB sexpat who has no education and/or no education/experience in teaching, that kind of money.

Like every other industry on this gay planet, these jobs are hyper competitive at anything other than the extreme entry level.
