Good if you already have money
Current employee, less than 1 year
Bogotá, Bogota
Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook
Pros
if you have your own savings or support from someone else in your life this can be a great way to travel for cheaper
Cons
you don't get to choose your placement and a lot of the cities (for example Monteria) are not nearly as fun as the cities Fulbright markets placements. They then recommend you travel to other cities, but do not give you nearly enough money for that. You have to budget pretty aggressively in a lot of the cities and Fulbright does not even cover costs like your cedula.

Manage Your Expectations Prior
Current employee, less than 1 year
Bucaramanga, Santander
Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook
Pros
Had a lot of autonomy in my role (this was due to my university tutor, not Fulbright Colombia) Students were great and very receptive Ability to travel and visit many parts of Colombia A lot of free time--nice break from the US "rat race" Great weather (in Bucaramanga, Colombia)
Cons
Last minute notifications Culture shock Not the best support system--they're more reactive than proactive Your pay is "eh"--you can definitely make it work if you budget, but the first couple of months will be very tight Inconsistent pay schedules and expectations
