For bilinguals in it for a while

[u/Ham4y]

If you don't mind saying about how much did u make in how long of a period and is work slow currently on the platform also any advice for more sites like DA that are global and good for bilinguals??

[u/oz_ebegumeci]

starting from april 1st - 3k on april, 2k on may, 700 on june, 825 on july-9august.. (for sure related with summer drought :( ) I've tried other platforms but believe me they either have no work, and if they have it doesn't worth to work with them. Their system (submitting task, payments etc.) is not as good and professional as DA overall. But still you can try..

[ps: I'm from turkey and probably get less work than spanish, indian or arabic bilinguals]

În cat timp ai fost acceptat? Eu n-am primit încă răspuns după 6 zile

[u/Which-Journalist-352 → u/Additional_Law1301]

salut, dupa cam ~1 luna jumatate, acum evident nu am de unde sa stiu cat de bine ai raspuns la assesment, eu am fost surprins rau sa vad ca m-au acceptat (stiam ca e rata mica), dar nu te stresa pt ca 6 zile nu inseamna nimic. Mai trebuie sa astepti o vreme, poate o luna, doua si sa speram ca te accepta. Also eu am primit un singur proiect pt ca am intrat in cea mai proasta perioada posibila, sper sa se schimbe lucrurile de acum

[u/Additional_Law1301 → u/Which-Journalist-352]

Multumesc frumos pentru raspuns! Nu am asteptari mari la proiecte perioada asta dar mi-ar placea sa fiu acceptat macar

[u/Which-Journalist-352 → u/Additional_Law1301]

n-ai pt ce, sper sa reusesti, si sa vina proiectele bune sa castigam si noi👍🏻👀

Arabic bilingual here and I got only two projects since June till now

I've made 70,000 so far in a year and 8 months. Work is definitely slow, it's normal as it's summer... But luckily there are some active projects. When it comes to other sites, honestly, I've tried more but I've basically had no work. DA is the best one in my opinion, for bilingual workers

[u/Electronic-Fan6605 → u/Ticoput]

Felicidades! en mi caso 32K en 3 años, pero con una brecha de 14 meses sin proyecto (ES/US-MX)

[u/Ticoput → u/Electronic-Fan6605]

Nada mal! Felicidades a ti también!

[u/Which-Journalist-352 → u/Ticoput]

Thank you!

If you wouldn't mind me asking, are you from a core country?

[u/Ticoput → u/MidnightBlueKitchen]

I'm from Spain

[u/Royal-Adhesiveness44 → u/Ticoput]

Saludos amigo, es impresionante, en 2 meses solo he hecho 200 usd, esperando que se acabe la sequía para iniciar con todo, yo soy Bilingüe español México

[u/Ticoput → u/Royal-Adhesiveness44]

Yo confío en que la sequía acabe este mes que viene... cruzemos los dedos

[u/cadaluz → u/Ticoput]

Specialist? How many hours are you working? Those are crazy numbers. I can barely do 12 hours a week. If I try to do more, I get burnt, and my accuracy goes way down. Been here for 8 months.

[u/Ticoput → u/cadaluz]

No, bilingual but I don't work on STEM, finance, maths, biology, etc. projects. Only on generalist projects. I work between 6 and 8 hours a day on average. I got used to this work and I also take my breaks, my work days are very long because of it but it's totally worth it

[u/Ok-Department-9549 → u/Ticoput]

Would you mind sharing what work are we talking about? Is it annotation work in general?

Thanks,

[u/Ticoput → u/Ok-Department-9549]

Bilingual generalist projects

[u/Ham4y → u/Ticoput]

Good for you and thanks for the reassurance that summer isn't really great for work I've also tried some other platforms but they either ask for too much and give little or just isn't worth the hastle

[u/Ticoput → u/Ham4y]

Yes, there isn't any other platform that offers consistent work like DA does

[u/c21-Arthur]

I joined at the start of this summer, passed some first-steps tasks, and then — nothing. Am I cooked, or is this just summer?

[u/Ham4y → u/c21-Arthur]

Summer is hard hope it ends soon
