Pros

- Loved the ease of applying (only online, no spoken interview) and communication was great. - First salary took some time to arrive but once it did, it was always steady. - Amazing opportunity for the chance to live and work abroad.

Cons

- The salary was quite low and cost of living high in the city - San Sebastian. Others assistants in Spain received a higher salary (Madrid/Barcelona) even though the cost of living was higher or equal to San Sebastian. - As a non-Erasmus student, I had to subsidise my salary with private tutoring work.
