The housing clause caused more drama than the salary line for me. A contract can look fine until you realize the provided housing is tied to the job so tightly that move-out timing, deposit deductions, or utility cleanup become a separate stress event at the end. In Korea I would read the apartment section almost like a second contract, not a side note.
