In the case of ALT's dispatched by eikaiwas, a lot of times you have to switch companies to get a pay bump. Either that or a lot of people just get sick of the town they're in and after a year working for a company you can get the choice schools your company has contracts with a lot easier.

Correct me if I am wrong JET alumns, but isn't it relatively difficult to change schools within the program? It isn't like you just put in for a transfer.

Another thing about dispatched ALT's, most companies pick up resigning bonuses if the ALT stays at the same school. Not that we would ever get a piece of that, not anymore anyways.
