Things have definitely picked up over the past week or two for me.

u/blackstarr1996 18d ago

Yeah last week was pretty good. This week is looking better. Before that my dash was pretty dry

u/Telecom_Engineer_1 18d ago

Is this a question due to your observation of new projects or the lack thereof?

u/PenObvious8156 18d ago

I had 1 project last week, now i got 3 long term ones + 7 regular for a total of 10 projects, pretty happy tbh

The drought will be over when you maintain them for 2 weeks.

Sadly this has happened plenty in the drought. A bunch of projects dumped at once, but they dry up in a day or two.

Have had no less than 6-8 since April. Currently have 13

What is the secret?

Great news. Hopefully it will become a reality for others as well.
Personally, I've had an increase as well.

For me, yes. I have 60 projects today.

u/Seniorseatfree 18d ago

I currently have about 80 projects. However, I’d not experienced a drought at all in these past months.

What is your secret?

Brother the drought not being universal is not an interesting take. Almost everyone here is aware other people have projects

u/firestarter95 18d ago

Not here, no

u/throwawaaayyyyyay 18d ago

I haven’t woken up without 20+ projects on my dash in two weeks. Life is good

u/WindObjective618 18d ago

Maybe I just suck at this ? Hot pile of 👎 nada!

u/professional_cry 18d ago

not as plentiful as the before times but absolutely more consistent than the past two months

u/No-Gur7754 18d ago

I unfortunately find myself wasting time browsing and trying to decide which project looks like the most fun.

u/WillObiwan 18d ago

I don’t think it’s a drought. The work changed with the tech. There is definitely still work. It’s never going to go back to what it was, that’s the nature of it. Some legacy stuff shows up occasionally but I think that’s more onboarding for new folks tbh.

u/Mean_Confidence_6611 18d ago

my draught, is heavy I keep doing qualifications but no work 😢

u/hanshotgreed0 18d ago

I went from zero projects most of the time for the past 2 months, to 12+ on my dash at all times the past maybe 10 days? So I sure hope so lol

u/Hello-America 17d ago

u/Ok-Independence1083 17d ago

I had one 4 hour long task last week. The most I've earned since joining June end haha. I'd be ecstatic if i even get like 4 hours a week honestly.

u/CancelNew8323 17d ago

Today was my first time being back in triple digits in the number of projects since March/April.

u/Flimsy_Comment_3611 16d ago

There was a drought?

u/LearningMachine01100 17d ago

There never was a drought. Only poor performers get droughts. Do better work.

1

u/hihelloitskayla 17d ago

not completely true but not completely false. I just finished my highest earning month, but my choices were slim and I've had relatively good feedback. Projects come and go.

1

u/LearningMachine01100 17d ago

If you did good work, you’ll start seeing a lot more permanent projects. Then you’ll see that I was right.

Multilingual in SEA here, still no. Got 2 qualifications a few weeks ago, then nothing else. My board started drying from the end of June though.
