Pros

Working and living in Shanghai is rewarding in and of itself but being a part of the Teaching Nomad team was such a blessing. I absolutely loved my experience. My favorite part of the job was speaking to teachers from all over the world. Not only did I learn from them, but I loved to impart my own experience and knowledge to give them the best idea of what life abroad might be like for them. The Shanghai team was pretty close knit and we became great friends. Another perk was the fun team bonding we had at the end of each month which came in the form of happy hour/ dinners, escape rooms, and other team outings. Management is great and always helpful and receptive to your ideas of how to make the company better - whether it be a new blog post, a way to streamline your productivity, or a marketing plan - they'll always hear you out, which is why I always felt valued as an employee. I also really loved having the chance to manage some of our school accounts. It was a nice change from only speaking to teachers and made me feel as though I was a trusted employee. I enjoyed communicating with the schools on how to better our recruitment tactics and even discussing other partnership options outside of our general list of services.

Cons

Due to fluctuation in teacher's start times throughout the year, you do need to be aware of managing your money as Shanghai can be a pretty pricey city to live in.

Pros

The skills you learn here you will be able to take with you wherever go. You'll get really good at talking to people and managing your own time. There is a lot of freedom in the position and ultimately the company is always willing to take good ideas and implement them. You get to meet people from all over the world and have the opportunity to change peoples lives with helping them find a job abroad. The company pays for health benefits or will reimburse you the costs if you decide not to enroll in it. You get a full hour lunch break and monthly happy hours.

Cons

Small office, but there are plans to expand in the future. It can get loud during certain times of the day making it hard to talk/think, but usually doesn't last too long.
