WeMakeScholars Salaries in India (Updated 2025)

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.

Nothing, not any

Though salaries are secret, i can definitely share through an anonymous review. I started with 20K monthly salary. At that point in time, some of my college friends were placed in MNCs like Deloitte and Amazon at 25-27K. I was of course jealous, any one would be. In the last 1.5 yrs at wemakescholars i have got 4 hikes and my current salary is 38k and my classmates who were flauting their MNC package in college placement have still not crossed 30-32k. So, now when we hangout I offer to pay when I am making 10 to 12K additional incentive also. This is my rags to riches story. And See it is not that they gave me this salary as a charity. I worked equally hard for that, but I was always ready for that extra hard work.

Dislikes

Starting salary is low, but that’s the risk I took and got 38K in 1.5 yr.

...ence was good. A lot of learnings. The training given as a recruiter is so good. And I feel very satisfied in a way that we explain everything about the company, role, salary, etc. to candidates very transparently, unlike other companies. My friends in other companies are told so many times to keep some policies hidden from candidates, but at WeMakeScholars, I have that satisfaction that after joining a candidate will not feel that I lied to him to get my incentives.

Dislikes

As per the company policy, the recruiters should explain in detail about the company and role to candidates, which makes it a 20 mins long pitch for each candidate, which makes it a little hectic because you have to do this for like 7-10 candidates per day.
