Thanks for your review and reflecting on your time as a Copywriter in Boston. The travel opportunities and sense of community you've described make EF a special place to work, and we're happy to hear those were highlights in your time here. Every year, we benchmark our compensation packages with industry standards, and we appreciate your comments towards that conversation. Career growth at EF can span a wide range of roles, teams, and products across the organization and that career path often looks less like a straight ladder and more like a spiral staircase. We wish you well in what comes next.

We get monthly bonuses as well as a transport allowance that helps with rising fuel costs.

Cons

The salary threshold is below average for a degree holding professional. There is a high turnover rate among online teachers.
