Note-taker - Anonymous employee GradeBuddy Employee Review

By going to class and taking notes--what I do as a college student on a daily basis anyways--I was able to earn up to $500 for each class I was in. You are paid twice which is mid-semester and at the end of the semester. This is an easy way to make some pocket money while you're in school.

You will only get the max pay of $500 if you're in a large enough class and you invite/share links to your fellow students, otherwise they can cancel your pay or only pay you like $150 so make sure you encourage your fellow students to get involved. The paychecks can take a while to come in, so don't plan your budget around them.

GradeBuddy is great if you're a good note-taker. The position inherently requires you to be a diligent student, attend every class, and take great notes. So when you accept the position, you have to really take your class seriously whether you feel like it or not because the class is now not just about the grades you receive, but getting paid. Plus, you work when you, your own schedule, and it feels that you help students out.

The job is pretty limiting. They only offer you to create material for specific classes. And at least when I worked there, you cap off at each class at $500.
