WeMakeScholars Technical Lead salaries in India

Likes

I did engineering because my cousin was doing it. I took up the job as a financial Officer because the pay was good and the company had good reviews. But I still don’t know what I want to make my career in. At the beginning of career, we always want to try our hands on various skills, because we don’t know what’s our calling. That’s what I love about wemakescholars. The opportunity to switch departments, not initially, but once you do a year as an FO. I was part of the loan team for the first year and then as per the request in retention meeting, I was allowed to get into marketing and partnerships role, which has taught me very different and new skills. Now, I know what are the things I am good at and what should I do my MBA in.

...last 1 yr writing all the exams of the world, without actually focussing on any. Also, you can ask anyone at WeMakeScholars, the salary hike after 1 yr, is pretty good… it is worth staying for a few more years, after you get that hike. And the company is pretty stable and sorted in terms of funds, so there isn’t any risk of lay off, until unless you goof up.

Dislikes

Rules are a little too strict, but I think it is required considering the fact that literally every new joinee is 20-21 yr old kid and we GenZs are hard to manage.

...nd incentives are good too. Not much pressure for targets, but rules are strict. Always got salary on time, unlike most of my friends who are working in other laying off start-ups. The company's work culture is pretty friendly.

Dislikes

Nothing, not any

Good company, Excellent colleagues, Good role, No politics. Salary is always credited on time and better than what market offers for freshers. You won’t even get in-hand starting salary of 22k in TCS or Wipro. And most important, company is pretty stable, without any investment, so bro, you won’t get an email saying “Laid off” unlike Byju’s or unacademy.

Dislikes

There is too much competition in FO role. There are perks also, but you should be someone who wants to work hard and grow.

I relocated to Hyderabad to join wemakescholars. Of course, the starting salary of 22k was tight when you are the sole earner in the family and you have to send minimum 10k back home for your parents survival needs. I worked hard, in fact, very hard for one year and when it came to my retention, Arjun and Kshitij, offered me a good hike almost 12k on my base pay. I am earning well now and able to send around 15k home and still living a decent bachelor’s life in hyderabad.

Dislikes

As it is a start-up, there is a good amount of work. You cannot have that MNC routine of Login, tea break, lunch break, smoke break, tea break and logout. There is actual work here and which demands a little extra hard work. So, not for cool yo-yo guys.
