Q. How is your overall experience of working with Chegg?

My experience with Chegg has been great. I have been answering on the Chegg Q&A Board for about a year now. It makes me feel wonderful knowing that I can help shape the future of several students. It is immensely satisfying to receive positive comments from students.

In the beginning, I focused more on learning rather than hitting numbers so that I can help students in a better manner. Whenever I found a question from a new topic, I used to take a screenshot of the question and tried to answer during my free time. Thus, it has helped me enhance my knowledge. Thereafter, I gradually increased answering a sizable number of questions, without compromising on quality. My main aim while answering is to maintain good quality. If I don’t know how to answer a certain question, I would rather skip it.

The best thing I love about Chegg is it facilitates the learning of both students as well as tutors. Moreover, the more you learn, the more you earn.

To my surprise, the student gave a thumbs down. He left a comment that the answer is very bad, and he was not satisfied with it. In response, I asked him what was missing in the answer. He shared his requirements. I reworked on the answer and provided a better answer. The student was quite impressed with the answer. After a few days, he left another comment under the same question asking if there is some way that I could solve his new question, and that made me feel good as I could help a student when he needed me the most.

The main aim of Chegg and all the experts is to maintain the quality of solutions. I am no different. My primary focus is to maintain quality. For that, I follow the guidelines given by Chegg. Some of the key points for providing a good solution are,

• Provide a necessary explanation in the solution

• If it is a programming question, then provide comments before each line of code, which briefly tells what the particular line of code is doing. This is always helpful for the students to understand the code.

• Provide the screenshot of the code as well as the output of your program.

• The solution should be clear and easily understandable by any person other than the solver. It should not contain anything, which is not a part of the solution.

In other words, it has been a training ground for developing those traits.

Q. What do you do in your pastime?

Despite the rigor, I often take breaks to refresh and rejuvenate. At Chegg, I am my own boss and I work from home. I give myself time and freedom to spend with my kid and engage in various sports – cycling, marathon, swimming, badminton, tennis, and basketball. A routine fulltime job wouldn’t give me that freedom. The break from corporate career gave me the time and motivation to just follow my heart. Working on the Chegg Question and Answer Board can be compared to digging a well and then enjoying the water. This changed my perspective on life.

Q. What are the questions that you seek to answer?

The hardest moment for me was to go against the grain and do what I wanted. Since I am a post-graduate from Banaras Hindu University, everyone had expectations from me to get a full-time job and start earning right after my studies. Everyone would give me their opinion. The toughest part was when things were not going in my way, I started questioning myself whether I was doing the right thing. I strongly believed that I did the right thing to work as a freelancer for Chegg so that I can financially support my family and alongside can work towards my bigger goal that is to become a District Magistrate.

Q. What were your initial struggles when you started working for Chegg?

Prior to Chegg, I didn’t have any experience in teaching and freelancing. Working on the Chegg Q&A Board as an expert answerer requires a decent standard in the subject and in writing. Quite often, I came across questions which I never heard during my college days. I was really struggling with these types of questions because one needs to go an extra mile to figure out the actual concept behind the question and to help the students understand better. Language skill was also a barrier for me in the initial days because Chegg requires of us not just providing an answer or a calculation but also provide necessary step by step explanation of the methodology. However, I took very less time to cope.  

Q. Could you share a memorable moment from your journey with Chegg?

One day, I received a comment from a student that my answer was wrong. I checked carefully again and provided the same answer but this time with different values to prove my calculations.  The next day, I got another comment from the same student saying that my answer was correct and that his class teacher was wrong. My answer was better than his teacher’s answer.

Rather they focus on delivering quality answers. Therefore, In the initial days, I was dubious whether I would be able to solve on par with the Chegg Experts. However with the kind of motivation I have received from the coordinators and the other experts, I could achieve those targets. I am thankful to them for believing in me and showing their faith in my capabilities.

I always try to keep a database of mine wherein most of my knowledge resides. Because it helps me in solving a question with speed and accuracy. Most importantly, I never compromise on Quality answers and that made me one of the privileged experts who were invited to Chegg Expert Meet – Delhi.

Q. How did you come to Chegg?

My plan was to be an entrepreneur and start my own business and I wasn’t interested in joining a private company. My father owns a second hand truck and he is also the truck driver. The truck was the only source of bread-winning for the family. Unfortunately, my father was down with Paralysis and the family was in deep financial struggle. There was no money and no proper house. The responsibility fell on my shoulders to take the reins and lead the family. Though I completed my graduation in B.Tech, I worked as a truck driver to continue my father’s business. It was in those tough times, my friend introduced me to Chegg.

Q. Where else do you work?

I don’t work elsewhere.  Moreover I am preparing for group competitive exams (for Grade I or II govt. sector gazette jobs). In addition I prepared for GATE but later I discontinued as I wasn’t certain about securing a job. To qualify in GATE I have to work at least 14 hours a day in order to achieve a good score. Having other priorities and responsibilities in the plate, I could not dedicate so much time for GATE. Ever since I joined Chegg, I have the satisfaction of a full time job, yet attending my priorities and responsibilities.

Q. How much time do you spend a day on authoring? What is your daily routine?

For Chegg Q&A, I work for 6 to 8 hours. I use the rest of the day for preparing for groups exams. From early hours in the morning up to 9AM, I spend on Q&A. On an average, I answer 12 questions a day. Then I go to the truck shed. My truck is not a new one. It breaks down often and I had to spend sizeable amount to fix to ensure that the business doesn’t halt. Then I go for my group classes. Later I again spend some time on Q&A. Last month I solved 160 questions.

Q. Could you tell us a memorable and a challenging moment in your tenure?

It was the time when Vizag was hit by a big cyclone called Hudhud. The city was in ruins and there was limited power.

Another moment was when Chegg announced an offer; I could earn a sizeable amount.

Q. How does Chegg help you in your progress?

In the beginning, I wasn’t so good at using computer. I sincerely worked hard without giving up. Very soon, I started to earn 30 to 40K every month. Chegg stood like a backbone for me. We borrowed money for my father’s treatment and then I could repay the loan with the money I earned at Chegg. I am happy that my father is recovered and healthy now. Chegg gives me sufficient time to take care of my father and the truck.

Q. How did Chegg help you grow personally and professionally?

Q. Describe your experience with Chegg?

 I am currently working on two subjects: Advanced Math & Calculus. After that I solved more than 1000 questions so far, with an overall CF score of 87%. In addition I devote maximum time and attention to the Chegg Q&A board to keep my scoreboard ticking. Firstly, I never compromise with quality and provide the necessary information to the student.  Secondly, If the students aren’t clear about the concept, they develop Math-phobia.  Thirdly, when I answer a Math question on the Chegg Q&A Board, I ensure that the student understands the concept. After that I break the solution into logical steps and explain every step. Students usually get confused with direct steps. Therefore I provide necessary intermediate steps with utmost care, bearing in mind that our answers affect the career of the student.

Q. What is the best thing you like about Chegg?

 Chegg lives and breathes the idea of helping students. A student doesn’t have to look for anything else apart from Chegg. It is a Single Point of Contact for the student to get all the necessary subject-help. Chegg is a unique platform that wrought technology and education in a way that caters to the students globally. This is what I like about Chegg.

Q. How did Chegg help you in your overall growth? 

 Apart from the monetary benefit, Chegg gives me an opportunity to improve my subject as well. I started learning new concepts and started increasing the answering count. I have also gained a lot of confidence in my subject just by answering on the Chegg Q&A Board. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about my ability to answer on par with the other Chegg experts, but, after talking to other experts, I was encouraged – I said to myself – “Never give up”.

Q. Cite a memorable moment.

 With the earnings I made at Chegg, I bought expensive gold ornaments for myself. They are dear to me because I bought them with the sweat of my brow. Chegg has made me financially independent.

I work as a faculty in an engineering college. Therefore, students love the way I teach the subject.  Importantly, I want to help such students by providing the best possible answers so that they get the real concept behind it and clear their exams and come out in flying colors. In other words, teaching is a wonderful task and I love my job.

Q. What do you think about the Experts’ meet?

It felt good to meet the expert management team and my fellow expert fraternity – this was the first time I met them, hence was very excited. I was encouraged listening to the voice of the expert answerers and was motivated by their dedication towards answering on the Chegg Q&A Board.   It was a proud moment to receive a merit certificate. The reception was incredible, and I would love to attend these meets in future as well. I am greatly indebted to Chegg. I am thankful to Chegg and proud to be a part of it.

My experience with Chegg has been awesome. The coordinators have been very helpful.

Above all I have always liked working as a freelancer.

Q. How much time do you spend on answering on Chegg Q&A? Do you set targets for solving a particular number of questions in a day?

It depends on the question volume. For instance, during semesters, I give around 4 to 5 hours to answering on the Chegg Q&A board. Moreover, I target 30 questions a day. For Instance I solve a few questions while waiting in a queue or while travelling in metro and not waste time.

Q. How has Chegg helped you in your life and career?

Being a UPSC-CSE aspirant, I wanted a source of earning without diverting myself from studies. Therefore, Working with Chegg gives me the flexibility and I can do other important things as well. In addition I enjoy travelling a lot. So For instance, when question volume is not high, I plan some trips. Importantly, I want to visit every beautiful place on Earth before I die and so far Chegg has helped me a lot in accomplishing my dream.

Q. Can you mention any memorable/special moment of your journey with Chegg?

There was a memorable moment last year when I solved 85 questions in a day with good ratings, which is my personal record. In addition a year before that, I did 72 questions in a day.  Therefore these were special moments for me. Importantly, I am hoping to break this record as well!

Q. How do you make sure that you provide quality answers?

Quality makes a big difference. Therefore, I double-check the answers, check for the units and dimensions in the solution provided. Moreover, I also solve the question with a different formula on a rough sheet to ensure that I get the same (correct) answer.

Q. Do you enjoy working with Chegg?

Yes, I do. I enjoy very much. Maybe that’s why I am sharing my experiences with you. In conclusion working here gives me a lot of challenges, and competition with other fellow experts makes the work more enjoyable.

I have already recommended many of my friends and relatives. Moreover whenever I see an erudite man, I will recommend him to join Chegg.

Importantly, it was very well organized. In addition I met a few experts and coordinators. Also, had warm conversations with them. Above all it was an awesome experience overall.

Q. Any word for Chegg?

Chegg is doing a great job of spreading knowledge. Thank you Chegg!

Mostly 80% of online jobs are bound to be fraudulent when it comes to payment – but Chegg is an incredible exception to that statistic… working for Chegg fills me with an unwavering assurance and confidence to face life… I have had an exponential monetary growth after joining Chegg. It is like I am getting a 100% hike every month… At Chegg, I was awestruck by the timely payment… After joining Chegg, life became lighter as my financial status has become brighter… After joining Chegg, I also got selected for two top MNCs – one at Vizag and the other at Bangalore. The credit goes to Chegg… Chegg gave a fun-filled family time during the festival season. Our family had a double blast… For Diwali (the festival of lights), Chegg offered payment well in advance so our family could enjoy the festival season to the fullest… I am very thankful to Chegg because it helped me grow both financially and career-wise.

Q. How did you come to know about Chegg?

I heard from a Chegg Employee, who was once my colleague.

Q. Where else do you work?

I am a Java developer and I am working for a software company in Vizag. I also worked as a freelancer online for US-based clients, especially on Java based projects. They post jobs in JIRA and I complete the task and submit. Depending on the gravity of the task and the time spent, I get paid.  However, I have discontinued working for them from the last 7 months, because their payment was not good. Mostly 80% of online jobs are bound to be fraudulent when it comes to payment – but Chegg is an incredible exception to that statistic. As we know there is no job security these days, and additionally, there is tremendous pressure at work, working for Chegg fills me with an unwavering assurance and confidence to face life. Answering questions is such an interesting job. It feels great to have a big MNC like Chegg in Vizag. 

Q. How much time do you spend on answering?

Generally, my day begins at 3 A.M. and I answer questions till 8 A.M. As the inflow was low from the last two months, I was working only till 6 A.M. After that, I go out for a morning walk. In the evening, I sit again to answer questions from 9 PM to 12 midnight. So, on an average, I spend six hours a day.

Q. How many questions do you answer on an average?

I answer nearly 15 questions in 6 hours. Sometimes, I do as many questions I can until the queue is empty.

Q. How did Chegg help you in your overall growth?

Firstly, I have had an exponential monetary growth after joining Chegg. It is like I am getting a 100% hike every month.I have a big family at home. My parents also live with me and I have to support seven members of the family. So, I was in search of an ideal part-time job where I could earn more and finally I landed in Chegg. My pockets are empty by 10th of every month, as I have to pay EMI of housing loan, apart from my family maintenance. At Chegg, I was awestruck by the timely payment. Chegg pays before 15th of every month and helps me sustain and that is so satisfying.

Clearing the housing loan is a breeze now, thanks to Chegg. After joining Chegg, life became lighter as my financial status has become brighter. I also bought new appliances for my home.After joining Chegg, I also got selected for two top MNCs  – one at Vizag and the other at Bangalore. The credit goes to Chegg. Chegg questions are subject-oriented, and solving them actually helped me a lot in improving my subject. Every time I answer questions on Chegg Q&A Board, I get to revise all basics of the subject. I get re-acquainted with the terminology, and so I did a fantastic job in the interviews.

Q. How are you balancing your family and work? 

I spend quality time with my family. My wife takes care of a major part of the household chores and I have ample time to answer questions on Chegg website. Moreover, I decided to work as a permanent employee for only 10 years. After which I will entirely focus on Chegg and earn from home.

Q. Is there any memorable time?

Every time I receive a recursion problem, I have a ball of a time. It is like playing a game. It requires skill to answer a recursion problem. I feel very happy when I answer it within an hour. In other words, it is truly memorable. In the beginning, I met an EA who had answered 1800 questions and I wondered whether I could ever solve these many questions. Recently, when I clicked the ‘answered tab’, I found that my answering count had reached 1835 and I felt very happy that I could make it.

Answering theoretical Algorithm type questions is also exciting for me. Reading student comments and feedback is also very encouraging. During one offer, I earned a sizeable amount in a month and that was the best time at Chegg. Fortunately, that was during the festival season – Sankranthi (Pongal), and all the family members had gathered at our home for celebration.

Chegg gave a fun-filled family time during the festival season. Our family had a double blast.I am the youngest in our family and everyone expects me to be the financer during festivals and, because of Chegg, I have never disappointed them. For Diwali (the festival of lights), Chegg offered payment well in advance so our family could enjoy the festival season to the fullest. Thanks a lot to Chegg – it made our festive season memorable.

Q. Did you recommend any of your friends to join Chegg? What do you tell them about Chegg when you recommend?

I did recommend Chegg to a lot of my friends. They asked me whether the payments at Chegg are genuine or not. I showed them my bank statement to prove that Chegg payments are timely and genuine.

Q. How did you respond to bad rating?

I rarely get bad ratings. Whenever I receive, I trace my mistakes and immediately try to correct them.

Q. Have you ever get bored of answering?

I get bored when the question inflow is low and I do not get sufficient questions to answer.

Q. If you were given opportunity to work full time, would you join?

It is a joy to teach students, so I would definitely grab the opportunity. I am very thankful to Chegg because it helped me grow both financially and career-wise.

Q. How were you introduced to Chegg?

I came to know about Chegg through Naukri.com. Importantly I was impressed reading the job profile of an Expert Answerer (EA). After that I browsed and found out that Chegg provides subject help for students globally. On 22nd July 2015, I cleared the test and started my journey with Chegg. Therefore now, I am working on four subjects: Algebra, Calculus, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus.

Q. What were you doing before joining Chegg?

I have done M.Sc. in mathematics from SK University campus college in Andhra Pradesh. I am a Gold medalist in my post-graduation. Before marriage, I worked as a lecturer in SSBB college in Guntakal, that is, my hometown, then I worked as a part-time lecturer in VET college for 2 years in Bangalore.

Later, I was compelled to take a break as God blessed me with a baby boy.It was difficult for me to manage family, a kid with my job so I took a long break from my work. However, the mathematician in me drove me to look for work-from-home opportunities. I started working for various companies as a content developer for about six years, but I was not much satisfied with the services. Then, I got to know about Chegg and it was a life-changer.

Q. How is working for Chegg different from working elsewhere?

As a lecturer, I don’t find much difference between teaching in a classroom and teaching online. In both the set-ups, the method varies, but the content remains the same. Whether the classroom or the Chegg answer board, I address the students and help them. However, to be active on Chegg and answer every question, I need to be thorough with all the concepts. It is challenging to work as an Expert Answerer, but it makes me feel proud once the task is done.

The flexible timings at Chegg are perfect for nursing mothers like me. I can now balance my home and my work very well. I can work with less pressure and that too, at my convenience and pace. At the same time, I can take care of my kid and family too. Per day, I spend six hours or more on Chegg and Chegg has become a part of my life now.

Q. How was your experience on the Chegg Q&A board?

It has been an amazing journey with Chegg. I have solved more than 6,500 questions so far, with CF score of 86%. I never compromise on quality, because I know that the career of the students is at stake. When I write answers on the board, I ensure accuracy. Students post questions which are unique and difficult. After answering such questions and receiving a thumbs-up, I celebrate the moment. The comments of the students are motivating, and they drive me all the time to give more. I am active on Chegg WhatsApp groups and help other experts by answering their queries as well.

Q. In what way did Chegg make your life better?

Chegg has helped me grow professionally and financially. It helped me to learn and earn while sitting at home. In addition students post application-oriented questions. Moreover it is the best thing about Chegg. Therefore I had to be thorough with all the new concepts to answer such questions. Addressing global students has boosted my confidence levels. Financially, I became more stable after joining Chegg. I purchased two bikes for my husband with my Chegg earnings. He loves bikes and goes for long rides. The latest one is “Avenger”.

Q. Have you enjoyed being part of the Expert Meet?

I enjoyed the expert meet. It was a memorable day for me, meeting my coordinators and the managers. It was an awesome experience. I was surprised to know that my answers helped 2.5 million students. I learned more about Chegg and its current growth and its future trajectory which boosts my confidence. Sharing my experience with fellow-expert made me feel proud of myself and listening to others experience motivated me lot.

Q. How did you come to Chegg?

My coming to Chegg was a sheer coincidence. I am a B. Tech graduate in Civil Engineering in 2017. I took up Civil Engineering by choice. One day, as I was attending a counselling session in Andhra University. I happened to meet a friend who was then working as a Subject Matter Expert in Chegg. In a casual conversation, he mentioned about the role of an MNE in Chegg. This interested me, but I did not take it too seriously. A few days later, I came across an advertisement on Facebook, that said Chegg was hiring MNEs. I wasted no time and immediately applied for the role. I was then preparing for GATE.

As there are no interviews for MNEs, I was asked to submit a few assignments, which were okayed, and within no time – say less than five days, I was answering solutions for the Chegg Q&A Board, and that too from the comfort of my home (Smiles). The process was as smooth as silk – no delays, no confusion. This chance meeting occurred in Feb 2018, and that changed my fate.

“Call it destiny, call it serendipity (Smiles, as he reflects) but I thank my lucky stars for coming across this opportunity of working as an MNE @ Chegg.”

Q. Tell us something about yourself.

I hail from Visakhapatnam. My basic education has been in Vizag, For instance I completed my graduation from Vijayawada. Both my parents are employed. My father is a banker, and my mom is a teacher. Importantly I am the only child and have been raised with discipline – not like the only kids who are pampered. In addition to that I play shuttle, and most of the time, engage myself in building up my skills. I am a day person and love spending lone time.

Q. Do you work anywhere else or as a freelancer for any other company?

No. I don’t work anywhere else. I enjoy working for Chegg and would embrace an opportunity to work full-time here.

Q. How is being an Expert Answerer different from working as an employee elsewhere?

I haven’t worked anywhere else, so I wouldn’t be able to comment on that. I can certainly share what it feels like to be an Expert Answerer. The name itself propels an expertise w.r.t. subject. Either we are experts, or we need to be experts. I wouldn’t say I was a thorough expert, but the exposure I got out of answering the Chegg Q&A board, sharpened my subject-knowledge, to such an extent, that now, I feel I am not overstating if I were to call myself an ‘Expert Answerer.” (chuckles).

Compared to my peers, I can vouch that I have an extra edge when it comes to theoretical knowledge. Thus, working as an EA has enriched my knowledge. Thanks to Chegg, I have cleared my GATE and have got an admission in UK, which otherwise, I do not think, would be possible. (A gleam of pride can be seen in his mischievous eyes). I feel the job of an Expert Answerer at Chegg is really something. Not much of workload, I can work at my own sweet pace, plus the added advantage of overloading of knowledge. Above all the treasure of knowledge I gained in a measly span of six months is much more than the exposure I got in my four years of engineering.

Q. How many hours do you spend a day on answering Chegg Q&A Board? How many solutions do you do?

I spend not more than three to four hours a day on Chegg Q&A Board. I crack around 70 to 80 questions a month, on an average.

Q. How do you balance your personal life and professional life as an Expert Answerer?

“The early bird catches the worm.” I start working from 6 AM and work up to around 10 AM, throughout the week. This is the time when I feel the questions are a little easy and not many people work. I answer five to six questions in this duration. Also, the mind is fresh and there is calm around. After that, from 10 AM I hone my skills to better answer Chegg Q&A board.

I prefer working on the Chegg Q&A board, rather than authoring of solutions. In addition I feel writing solutions requires us to follow guideline w.r.t style, formatting etc., and is a little more time-consuming, for the same pay. However I know, youngsters my age follow the late nights and party cult, I am an early-to-bed and early-to -rise person. All my friends are at Vijayawada, making me a loner here in Vizag. I do not have a lot many friends here, and this saves my time. Thankfully, I don’t have peer pressure.

Q. Did you get any poor-quality rating or send backs for your solutions anytime in your past? What did you do and what was your experience?

Ha Ha! Yes, I did get poor-quality ratings. After all, failures are stepping stones to success, aren’t they? In fact, my month starts with a score of zero, could be that the student is unhappy with the explanation or the solution (Grins sheepishly, turning away his face). I then put in my efforts to start improving. During my initial days, I did have bottlenecks. It was difficult for me to answer, as I had no sources and no textbooks. Moreover questions in the Chegg Q&A board pop-up from across the globe.

I felt very proud in the month of May 2018 wherein I did not get a single thumbs-down. After that in June, I again started with a score of zero but ended up with a good score. In addition for the month of July, I raised my bar. Prior to June, I was worried about the scores and the rating, but now I feel confident. In other words I could see a lot of improvement in myself from February to May 2018.

Now, I am placed comfortably with a majority of thumbs-up, and that is why I continue to be an MNE. Chegg focuses on American standard questions, whereas my academics are of Indian standards, this acted as a hiccup and I did get my share of ‘Thumbs-down’.  I was not dissuaded. I downloaded almost all the textbooks, gathered information from the websites, and did thorough research and a lot of homework. Now, I am equipped to answer the questions confidently. At times, we get questions from countries like Turkey, Euro-port etc., which I find difficult to answer.

Q. Share at least one memorable and one challenging moment in your tenure?

(Laughs) Authoring a solution can never be memorable, but yes, the date February 25^th, 2018 shall always be etched in my memory, as I joined Chegg on this day – it is a life-turning day for me. Apart from this, yes, an incident that made me both disappointed and happy.

Memorable Moment: I once answered a question that had a fraction as the solutions. In the first instance, probably, the student, did not understand it and gave me a thumbs-down. This disappointed me. The student must have again looked up and inserted the fraction as a picture in the website which converted the fraction to decimal format and rendered my solution right. The student immediately changed the Thumbs-down to a Thumbs-Up, gave a good rating, and thanked me. This restored my smile and I felt happy, that my efforts had paid off. It is a feel-good factor, always to get good ratings, and that boosts me up.

Challenging Moment: Well! A challenging situation! (Ponders) Oh yes! How can I forget this? There was this question from RCC – Reinforced & Cement Concrete Structures. I had 120 minutes to complete the question. It was of a high difficulty level. I racked my brain. It was a race against time. I was left with the last ten minutes to submit the solution. Time was ticking by. I used all my knowledge, gathered enough momentum and submitted my answer at the 119^th minute. I can’t express my feelings of elation at that moment. After that I felt I had conquered the world. (beams).

Q. You appear dedicated. Are you satisfied with the pay?

Yes! (sobers up) I am highly motivated, passionate and dedicated. In fact, Chegg is my only avocation. Though I work only for around four hours a day, the rest of the day, I immerse myself learning topics related to Chegg Study. The pay I earn from Chegg is enough to self-sustain myself. I do not depend on my parents for pocket money. I am content. The payment is prompt and genuine. I am proud to be self-reliant and thank Chegg for making me so.

Q. How does Chegg help in your progress?

Amazingly! My shoreline of knowledge has been increasing, since the day I joined as an Expert Answerer. I could clear my GATE, thanks to the knowledge I amassed working on solutions for Chegg. I have also been attempting a few competitive examinations.

Q. Are you happy being an Expert Answerer? How has the role made your life easy?

Happy would be an understatement. The wealth of knowledge I have hoarded, being an Expert Answerer cannot be quantified. I can earn without moving out of my house. I now feel very complete, in lieu of the knowledge amassed, and a lot more confident.

Q. Would you recommend others to join as Expert Answerer? If yes, why?

Definitely! I have been doing this. It is only that people need to taste the joy and pride of being an MNE at Chegg. However my friends are reluctant, because they either have other pursuits, consider it a tedious job. In other words they are dubious and skeptical about their own skills. In conclusion I will keep on motivating people to join as an MNE.

Q. Would you prefer to be a full-time expert or continue as a part-time expert in Chegg?

(Sounds excited). That would be my dream come true. In fact, I did get a call and attended the interview for Content Support Executive at Chegg. However I would want to work as a Subject Matter Expert. After that I was waiting for an opportunity for a vacancy to exist. Therefore I made sure I have accumulated enough knowledge to be an asset to the Civil Engineering Domain as an expert. In other words, Chegg, to me, is better than any government job.

Firstly, My father is a banker, and we have been transferred 15 times – we settle, we unpack, adapt and then again, we pack, move to another city, settle, unpack and then again pack – this has been exasperating (frowns) and the saga continues. This is one reason I have never tried to walk on my father’s footsteps. Secondly, Getting a job in a banking sector is not easy, because of the tough competition out there. I would want to have a sure footing in one area. Importantly  I love Vizag and would want to settle down here. What better option than Chegg for this?

Q. If you are asked to come to our office and train other Expert Answerers, would you opt for it?

Certainly! I would love to share the knowledge I have amassed.

Q. Is this your first EA Meet. How is the experience?

Marvellous! I am having a wonderful time here. Would look forward to many more meets in the future. I enjoyed the lunch too.

Q. One thought about our Expert Management Team.

Awesome! They are very supportive. Chegg itself is supportive. The journey with the team has been very smooth, fruitful and mutually beneficial.

Q. Any problems you faced with the Q&A board?

Not many to mention. I did face a few technical glitches, maybe about five times in my entire tenure.

Any suggestions from your end…
Hmm, yes, a few…

• Firstly, a few of the questions posted are very difficult for a person with a B. Tech background to solve, whereas for a person with an MTech background, they might seem easy. I feel, it would be of immense help if Chegg would provide references in the form of Textbooks or websites. This would make the lives of MNEs like me much easier, as in we can search for related cues, considerably reducing the time taken to work on a solution.

• Secondly, There should be a tab on the number of questions posted by a student. Some students post five questions at a time, and each question takes an hour to answer. If the number of questions is limited to three questions, that would be nice, as else it affects the ratings. I feel bad when I get poor ratings. It hurts me.

• Importantly, if students could specify the reason for a low score or a thumbs-down, that would help a lot in self-improvement for the overall betterment of the solution, as we can come to know the drawbacks and try to rectify them.

Sharon Valli joined Chegg as an Expert Answerer at its inception in India. Her journey with Chegg started in 2011 when she was recruited during a campus drive at Dr. Bullaya College in her final year. However, at the same time, she got placed in Wipro as well, which she had to forgo because of some familial constraints.

Q. Please describe your experience with Chegg during the initial phase.

During the early stages, I was quite overwhelmed by the magnanimity of the operations at Chegg. It was a rough patch that I had to conquer; I was unable to work on the system and the initial 10-15 days were quite demanding. But I never gave up trying, with the help provided by Prasanna Kumari Mithra, Chegg ex-employee, I was able to get through that rough patch.

Q. How did you spend the first month in Chegg?

I received an assignment consisting of 100 questions, as my first and foremost assignment in Chegg. All the lecturers/professors liked me as I was a meritorious student during my college days . Therefore people discouraged me to pursue work at Chegg. Importantly those who are not aware of the glorious Chegg platform. Thankfully, I ignored them and requested my HOD to give me 10 days off so that I can start my first Chegg assignment. Initially, I took my brother’s help, who works as an SME in the Accounts department, but soon I was able to understand the system, and started working on my own.

Q. What was your reaction when you received your first pay cheque from Chegg?

The moment I received my first pay cheque from Chegg, which was a sizeable amount, my happiness reached the sky. I communicated the same to my faculty members and friends, for which I received immense appreciation. My confidence further increased when I received the next payment, after solving 300 questions, and this time it is three times my first pay cheque.

Q. What is the most fascinating part of your journey with Chegg?

The knowledge I have gained over the last 7 years cannot be weighed in any terms, and I know I cannot get this knowledge anywhere else in the world. In order to thrive at Chegg, one needs to possess up-to-date knowledge on every single development in the chosen subject. Chegg has helped me in ways one can’t imagine – Cannot imagine a life without Chegg.

Q. What is the maximum number of questions that you’ve solved in a month?

I solved 1,200 questions in a month once. Therefore I got compensated by 88,000 rupees.

Q. Tell us about your educational qualifications.

Currently, I am pursuing PhD. I have a Masters degree in Physics, and I also have a Bachelors of Education degree.

Q. Cite some of your happy moments at Chegg.

Every month I receive a message stating that the salary has been credited to your account. I cherish those texts of happiness immensely. I work hard throughout the month. Getting compensated provides validation and acceptance.

Q. How do you feel about the coordinators at Chegg?

I am very thankful to my coordinator, Prasanna Kumari Mithra. He has inspired and motivated me, both professionally and personally. In addition he helped me reach where I am today. Life without their inspiration would be very tough. I would also like to extend my gratitude to both Jitendra sir and Umesh sir who have been my guiding light throughout my journey at Chegg.

Q. Tell us a little about your personal and professional life.

I work as a professor in Ambedkar Institute of Management Studies. I have four siblings: two elder brothers, an elder sister, and a younger brother. My elder brothers also work for Chegg as SMEs in the Accounts department. Each month my brothers and I compete, and the person who answers the maximum number of question wins. Not to boast, but I always win. In my free time, I go to Church and offer my prayers to God, and I also organize events in my Church.

Q. Do you have any friends at Chegg?

Yes, I do. In the previous EA meet, I met Bharathi, who is also a Chegg Q&A Expert in the Physics department, and we became friends soon. Even though we haven’t known each other for a long time, we are quite close to each other; she inspires me and motivates me to keep on working for Chegg. Lately, she has been recommending me to work on the Chegg Q&A Board.

Q. What suggestion would you give to new joiners?

Dedication is the key to success. Accept this as a challenge and I guarantee, Chegg will take you to the next level. Accept the fact that it’s a pleasure to help students who are eagerly waiting for your valuable answers. I am very happy and content to be a part of the Chegg team.

Q. How were you introduced to Chegg?

Well I am Venkat. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. My friend who has been working as an Expert Answerer for Chegg introduced me. In addition he told me that the role of an Expert Answerer has reciprocal benefits – as the one imparting knowledge also gains surplus knowledge in return.

Above all Chegg satiates my thirst for knowledge as I get to teach international students. In conclusion I strongly believe that – to be successful in life, it is important to become a savvy in the subject.

Q. Where else do you work apart from Chegg?

My area of interest is teaching, so I work at a teaching institute as a part-time lecturer and I teach subjects related to Mechanical Engineering to my students. Simultaneously, I am pursuing my Masters. I have a goal to secure a job in the government sector and so I am preparing for competitive exams.Being an expert answerer on the Chegg Question and Answer (Q&A) Board is a pleasant job, where we can work peacefully and at our own pace. As we sow, so we reap – the more we answer, the more we earn. 

Securing a job in one’s core area is a rare opportunity in the current scenario. I saw a few of my friends who settled in unrelated jobs – like in software and BPO industries after graduating in mechanical engineering. I feel blessed to find such a good job at Chegg that allows me to use my subject knowledge and also work from home.

Q. Explain your experience with Chegg.

Working on the Chegg Q&A Board, helped me gain a good grip in core subjects like Strength of Materials and Engineering Mechanics. The good part of answering questions on the Chegg Q&A Board is the inflow of various types of questions related to different topics of the subject. Answering such questions has helped me develop a comprehensive knowledge on the subject. Now, I am so well-versed with Mechanical Engineering concepts that I do not have to refer to the textbooks to answer questions on the Chegg Q&A Board. In other words,  my subject knowledge is saturated. Therefore, I do not need to prepare for competitive exams again.

Chegg provides a rare platform to interact with international students, hungry to learn the subject. It is a haven of likeminded individuals grappling with the concepts to improve the subject knowledge of students. The questions are very interesting, application-oriented, and unique. Above all our knowledge expands exponentially just by helping students answer questions that stump them the most.

Q. How is the teaching experience augmented your role as Expert Answerer?

In order to become a good teacher, it is important to understand the grasping ability of the student. At the institute, I address 40 students at the same time. Not every student is on the same plane, so I need to be sensitive to the students with low grasping levels and address their confusion points. Unlike quick learners, slow learners require more support from the teacher.

I apply the same teaching principles on the Chegg Q&A Board. I try to break a complex problem into bite size parts and explain every step in order to help the student easily understand. Students always respond with thumbs up and post encouraging comments.

Q. Share something about your family and friends.

I live in Vizag. I have a cozy corner at home to work on the Chegg Q&A Board. My father runs his own grocery and my mother is a home maker. My parents are glad that I am able to offer a helping hand and share the family burden.I was able to pay my brother’s college fee and put away some money to save for my own future. Financially, our family is much more stable after I started working for Chegg. I even stopped depending on my parents for financial support to pay my educational fee, exam fee, and for other needs.

My parents and grandparents are quite curious to know about the nature of online jobs which is all Greek & Latin to their generation. My grandmother is quite puzzled when she sees me earn just by sitting in front of the computer. I go crazy sometimes to explain them the intricacies of the online world. I also want to buy a land and build a house for my parents.

Q. What is your daily routine?

I begin my day at 5AM with a cup of tea and I start working on the Chegg Q&A Board. As said, I go to the college around 10 AM. In the evening, I again return to the Chegg Q&A Board and answer as many questions as I can. For recreation, I hang out with my friends; we go to the cinema and play cricket in the weekends.

Q. Cite a memorable moment.

It was in last September, My family faced a financial crisis and my father was obligated to take a huge amount of loans. My parents were quite apprehensive about clearing the loan with the meager resources that we had. I took the helm of clearing the loan. In a couple of months, I solved a large number of questions on the Chegg Q&A Board and with the amount I earned, I cleared the loan. It was quite memorable and my parents were very happy.

Q. Who was your inspiration?

My senior who stood district-first in the board exam inspired me. In addition my physics teacher in my high school was my inspiration to become a subject-teacher.

Q. Have you ever felt bored of answering?

My love for the subject and my love to teach, the knowledge I gain here, and the financial benefit serve as a motivation. Therefore it overshadow my boredom. I have a plethora of ways to earn money, however, the satisfaction I gain by teaching the subject tops everything.

Q. Have you introduced anyone to Chegg?

Q. Explain your initial experience with the Chegg Q&A Board?

Initially, I used to get a lot of thumbs up, especially with the theory questions. This boosted my confidence. In addition it made me realize that students are liking my explanation and language. I do not like to give lengthy verbose answers, which bore the students. I give necessary information that covers the concept the student seeks.

Q. How did Chegg help in your progress?

Chegg made me discover my hidden potential. In other words I’ve answered in this platform which I initially thought was not possible. It has improved my critical thinking ability. Some concepts which I didn’t bother to clear during my college years, I’ve studied them now, because of the questions I get, for instance, the concept of triangular arbitrage. Also, there are questions that I’ve answered, which are partially related or unrelated to my subject.

Q. How was the Expert Meet experience?

The Expert meet was a lovely time. It was fun knowing experts from various fields and hearing their experiences. I learned a lot. Also, receiving lauds from seniorI can recall some questions from the concept of engineering economics. It was a economics question and not finance. However, I googled the concept and with a little bit of study, was able to answer the subsequent questions.

Q. Cite something from your personal life.

Apart from being a finance teacher, I also like to sing. It is my passion. I participate in cultural programs occasionally. Apart from answering on the Chegg Q&A Board, I spare some time to practice singing and socialize with family & friends.

Q. Would you recommend others to join as Expert Answerer? If yes, why?

I’ve recommended a lot of my friends and family members to join Chegg. I also introduced my sister-in-law who is currently working as a biology expert.

Q. In short, what is Chegg for you?

A life changing work opportunity, letting me balance my personal and professional life by providing the work-from-home option.

Q. How did you begin your journey with Chegg? 

I was looking for a job which would provide flexible working hours and an opportunity to do work from home. Then one of my friends told me about Chegg. I cleared the test, registered and started working on the Chegg Question and Answer board as an expert of mathematics. I spend ample time answering maximum questions on the Chegg Q&A board.

Q. What was so fascinating about working with Chegg?

Receiving questions from students across the world fascinates me as it gives me a global insight on the subject. Along with the increasing knowledge, it makes me financially stable. It makes me an independent and confident woman.

Q. Share your experience with the Chegg Q&A board?

The journey has been fantastic. I answer a wide variety of questions on the Chegg Q&A board – all related to my subject. I am an M.Phil. in mathematics and have also done my Bachelor’s and Master’s in mathematics from Delhi University. Answering easy and difficult questions and helping students gives me a deep sense of satisfaction.Once I received a tricky question and the concept was quite complex. I noted down the question and studied the concept so that I would be ready to answer such questions in the future. While working on the Chegg Q&A Board and helping students learn the subject, I am also learning new concepts each day. I do feel proud when the students appreciate my work and give thumbs up for that.

Q. How is your daily routine.

I wake up early around 5:00 in the morning and answering on the Chegg Q&A board till 7:00 AM. Then I do my daily chores like to prepare my daughter for school, cook for the family etc. When my daughter goes for school and my husband for his office, I begin to work on the Chegg Q&A board. I hit the gym in the evening and take tuitions. I answer on the Chegg Q&A board till midnight.

Q. What else do you enjoy apart from answering on the Chegg Q&A board?

I’m a gym freak, also enjoy watching Bollywood movies. I am fond of Punjabi songs. I enjoy life to the fullest and rejuvenate myself well enough to hit the Chegg Q&A board.

 Q. Cite a memorable moment

With the earnings from Chegg, I bought my own car, a Pearl white Honda City V on 5th July 2017. My car always reminds me to give my best to Chegg. Chegg makes me think BIG.

Q. Cite a challenging moment

The real challenge for me is always to attempt a hard question and to get an appreciation for it. For instance, Once a student posted a tough question and the challenge was not just about solving it but explaining it to the student. However, in mathematics, though we have a direct formula, the concept and derivation of the formula are complex and critical for understanding. Therefore I explained the derivation and provided a quality answer to that question. The student replied with thumbs-up and that was the nicest part.

Q. Please share something about your personal life?

I am married and have a daughter, who is 3 years old. In addition I live in Delhi and my husband is working as a manager at Sonalika, Noida. He is very supportive. We have a good family time during our weekends. I keep myself busy on the Chegg Q&A board during the week.

Q. If Chegg gives you a full-time opportunity, would you avail? 

I am very excited and happy with Chegg. Definitely! It is a pleasure working for Chegg.

Q. Tell us something about your personal and professional life.

I hail from Agra but born & brought up in Pune. I completed my senior secondary from Kendriya Vidayalaya and higher secondary from National Institute of Open Schooling, both associated with the CBSE board. My family consists of my father, mother and a younger brother. My father is a government employee, serving in the Ministry of Railways in Pune and my mother is a homemaker. In addition my younger brother has recently completed his graduation from Fergusson College. He got placed in Amazon as a Business Analyst. I completed my B.Tech. in Mechanical & Industrialization Engineering in 2015 from Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, Pune.

After that I worked for two years. I started my journey with a company located in Mumbai, named ‘Hawa Valves’ as a Procurement Engineer. Similarly, I moved on to General Motors and worked in Purchase and supply-chain Engineering. After that I left the corporate sector as I was not enjoying the atmosphere and I could not emphasize on skills & knowledge that I learned in my Engineering.

Currently, I am preparing for government exams. In addition I love to remain fit and therefore I exercise regularly. Similarly I play cyber games and am fond of playing counter strike. After that I opened my own server online which was a massive hit  in Pune. It became Pune’s #1 server online named as ‘Exploited Fraggers’. Above all I was all alone to handle with a few special friends having access to manage it.

Q. How did you get to know about Chegg?

I got to know about Chegg from one of my friends, Abhinav Fulmali, who is currently pursuing his PhD from NIT Rourkela. I was not at all aware of such a platform where I could earn by just solving questions posed by students and get paid for it.To check its authenticity, I enquired several times just to confirm the payout which is mandatory for anyone. Well! I started as a Q&A expert and now I am into Mechanical Engineering, which is the best part is because what I have studied it in my engineering, I answer questions related to the same topics.So far so good, it’s been an amazing journey with Chegg and I hope this journey keeps going and I keep helping the students.

Q. How is your overall experience of working with Chegg? 

In India, people are not very aware of freelancing. I joined Chegg four months back and trust me, it is the Best. Firstly, I feel so relaxed and stress-free. Secondly, for me, Chegg is one of the best and leading freelancing website which cares a lot about its experts. Thirdly payouts are timely – Chegg is a professional firm where you don’t have to think about the payouts. Importantly Chegg treats us as employees. Therefore I would like to thank my coordinators who always keep us updated, guide us and intimate us about the question flow well in advance. Above all being a Chegg expert is one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Chegg is easier to join. The process is very easy, and one can smoothly walk through.“Keep Chegging; Keep Rocking”

Q. How much time do you spend answering on Chegg Q&A?

Do you set targets for solving No. of questions in a day? Firstly, there is no time limit for me as such. This is the best part of Chegg as there is no time limitation. As I am preparing for competitive exams, I too have my own schedule which I follow for self-study.I usually give 3-4 hours a day to Chegg. During weekends, I work for 5-6 hours specifically during late nights to grab more no. of questions.I do set my daily and monthly targets. I try to solve 6-8 questions per day.

Q. What is your approach towards submitting the best possible quality answers on Chegg Q&A?

I always try to give my 100% when I provide solutions to the students. Importantly I never want students to struggle because I have gone through the phase where we, as students used to struggle to solve solutions and ended up getting less marks. Therefore being an expert, I try to provide good solutions with no errors. Above all I feel it’s my responsibility to submit correct and complete answers, write steps properly, and draw clear diagrams with neat handwriting in case I am uploading solution in a picture format.

Q. How has Chegg helped you in life/career?

For me, Chegg is the only source of earning. I came to know about Chegg from one of my friends. Chegg has given me everything as of now according to my plan. I wanted to take my own financial stand, and this is the only platform through which all my requirements are fulfilled.

Q. Can you mention any memorable/ special moment of your journey with Chegg? 

There are many special moments with Chegg. This is the closest to my heart. For instance, this incident occurred when I was solving a question related to Thermodynamics. There were almost 12 parts of that questions and according to Chegg Q&A guidelines, we are supposed to solve the first 4 parts of the question or the ones specifically asked by the students. At the bottom of the question, it was mentioned “please solve It will be of great help, I need solutions and I am unable to understand”. I felt very bad as the student was struggling with the question and was not able to arrive at a solution.

Well, it took me approx. 1.50 hours to solve the entire question. I solved the entire question and cross-checked thrice as I did not want the student to be disappointed. In other words I then uploaded the entire solution and felt very happy. The very next day, I received the feedback – “Thank you Chegg. You guys are amazing. I encountered this question in my exam paper and I solved it completely. Thanks to your faculty who solved it so accurately”. Importantly I felt proud that I had done something good for this student.

Q. Do you enjoy working with Chegg? 

Yes, there is no doubt in it. Firstly I never knew this is such a big platform and I feel proud to be a part of such a big organization. Secondly, I can work according to my own schedule. Thirdly, I can keep roaming & visiting new places and work. Importantly everything is handy, and questions can be answered using a smartphone as well .Above all everyone at Chegg is so motivating, that they come to our rescue when we find ourselves struggling. I always wanted to work as per my schedule and Chegg has gifted me this liberty.

Q. How likely would you recommend your friends/ relatives to join Chegg as an Expert Answerer (EA)?

I have recommended every single friend of mine who is struggling to find a job or those who do not have attractive packages. I will highly recommend Chegg to my friends/relatives to be a part of such a great platform, where we work as a team to help students.

Q. How was your experience at the Experts Meet Conducted in Pune? 

I would like to say a Big Thank you to the Chegg team who shortlisted me for the Meet. Importantly it was Pune’s first Experts Meet. Therefore I was amazed to be a part of it. Importantly it’s been just four months since I joined Chegg and I was invited by my coordinator.  I was very excited to meet my coordinators. Importantly regular calls, updates were the plus point from the team, as they wanted to know my availability. It was an honor to meet the Director – Expert Management Team, Imran Khan, who gave us valuable information about Chegg. Above all I was glad to receive goodies from Chegg which made me feel so special. The fun game was the funniest part. In conclusion I would want to be a part of this meet again and enjoy the tasty food once again.

“THANK YOU CHEGG FOR EVERYTHING. I WILL STAND FOR CHEGG BECAUSE AT CHEGG, WE ARE ONE TEAM. KEEP CHEGGING! KEEP ROCKING!”

Q. How did you get to know about Chegg?

I joined Chegg in 2016, while I was pursuing M.tech in Andhra University. After that I came across one of my friends who was sharing his experience at Chegg. Importantly he was bragging about the kind of money he was earning with my other friends at college. In other words I got curious and went straight to him to know further information and I was amazed to know about Chegg.

Q. How has your experience been with Chegg so far?

My specialization was ECE during my graduation. Therefore, I preferred Electrical Engineering as my subject. I joined as an EE expert initially. No doubt, the first few days were the toughest of all as I was struggling to find the right questions which were according to my expertise.  Even after finding the right questions, it was difficult to solve them within the stipulated time. Yet, I somehow managed, and I was able to earn a small amount in the first month. After that, I was capable of handling questions related to Mathematics as well. I chose algebra as my primary subject with the help of my coordinators, which turned my life upside down.

Q. What has been your biggest achievement so far?

I am financially stable now, and I was able to support my family while I was studying, and that I believe to be my greatest achievement so far. On the lighter side of things, I am very excited and proud to own a bike, which I bought from the money I earned working for Chegg. Therefore I would’ve bought the bike on this platform, only if I was given the permission.

Q. Do you talk about Chegg to your friends or family?

Yes, of course, I do. My friends approached me after seeing how financially independent I am and how I am able to manage that. I always guide my friends with the entire process – from onboarding to the help required while answering – I extend my help for all. My friends can’t thank me enough for introducing Chegg into their life.

Q. How do you feel being in the EA meet?

This being my first time, I was super excited to meet my fellow experts and the management of Chegg. I just can’t express this feeling in words. I would always be thankful to Chegg for inviting me in this meet. Never in my wildest dreams, I thought I’ll be attending such events, witnessing such grandeur while sitting among such wonderful people.

Q. What are your thoughts on the EA meet?

Firstly, I would like to thank the Chegg team for coordinating this amazing event, it not only boosts our confidence and encourages us to answer as many questions as we can, but it also gives us a platform to meet our colleagues and share our experiences. I would love to be a part of this event, every time it is organized in Vizag. Secondly, I would continue working for Chegg with the same level of dedication, and hopefully by the next EA meet, I’ll be a proud owner of a four-wheeler, thanks to Chegg.
