Did anyone try out MentorCruise as a Mentor here? If yes, how was your experience?

I have used it. Its okay. It is growing but still needs to a lot of work. Right now the platform is limited in the sense that it only provides the ability to chat. A lot of mentors there end up moving their mentees to different platforms such as personal slack workspaces etc.

Ahh, I see. Thanks, will check if it’s worth it

It's good if you are beginning your journey as a mentor or want to build your profile as a mentor. It's a whole new experience (if you hadn't mentored before), apart from earning sufficient monetary income on the side. Yes, the platform has its limitations. However, I have been on this platform for ~ 3 yrs now, and in this duration the platform has changed a LOT!! Seeing my profile as a mentor, many recruiters from training institutes or other mentoring platforms have reached out to me to collaborate with them. So, if you are interested in that kind of stuff, its nice to have mentoring experience.

Curious, how much do you earn/mo on avg?

It depends on how much you want to charge. I earn somewhere between 7-10 K on an average (and this is from one mentee).

INR/USD? Per month or per session?

There are two ways, if you are doing sessions then depending upon which type of session you do, you can earn somewhere between $40 - $90 (per session, where a sessions will be of max 1 hr). What I am doing at present is mentoring, and in this we get paid monthly in USD. The final price varies depending upon how much you are charging.

Interesting, and how much hours do you spend with a mentee each month? Also, usually what’s the profile of your mentees?

~2 hrs a week (under extreme circumstances). The profile varies. I have had mentees from all sorts of background, students, professionals (freshers, mid experience, 10+ yrs of experience). I even had a "Principle Data Scientist" as a mentee once 😂

Yeah, the field is crazy. I once, got a profile with 10+ experience at ISRO to screen for a Jr. Machine Learning position.

Nope 😂 Not one bit
