Benefits

For the first 6 months, we are offering $15 per hour. The reason we’re offering hourly compensation is that our copies are shorter and more tricky compared to other texts. We count the time our translators spend on researching and brainstorming too (as well as proofreading of course). Then, we aim for a 10% increment in your first year working with us. We currently have a team of 10+ translators and our translations team is constantly growing!
