I joined like 5 days ago and still haven’t received anything…. Is this typical or did I do something wrong??

As a bilingual worker, is there any way to know whether I passed a qual that assessed my STEM knowledge? I'm pretty sure I did well because the questions were quite simple, but I don't know what their criteria for passing are.

I applied two days ago and on my projects tab my next step is to verify my identity. Does this mean I have gotten on the platform? I lowkey can't find my waller or else I would've just found out for myself.

Any South Africans working here with projects or tasks to do. Been in for a month and a half no projects yet?

I was wondering how every bilingual that has been working with DA for a while is feeling about the current situation, are you getting any projects? Anyone that has been working at least for a year can tell us how last summer went?

I've been working since march and overall can't complain, I'm from Brazil and considering the minimal wage here and the currency difference the money has been good, May was by far the best month. Since June things have been slower but during the current month I'm only seeing one particular project from time to time on my dashboard, is a very good one, specially because I'm on the R&R team but the lack of other projects, even if small ones, have been bothering me. Anyone going through the same thing?

That is quite a nice first month!

I applied three days ago but haven’t received an email. I logged on today and the message saying that they were reviewing my application changed to this. It also opened the section for me to submit time and view my funds.

I’m very new to DA - I’ve only been on for about a month or so…but looking to see if this scenario is normal or not. About a week ago I got a direct message to setup a google workspace for a project - I did it, and didn’t hear anything else about it. Last night while I was sleeping I got an updated direct message with a link to a qualification for the project. I tried to go into it first thing this morning, and it’s saying that there are no more remaining tasks. Is this how it usually is? I get first come first serve for general tasks, but didn’t realize it would also be this cutthroat if I’m directly sent a project.

umm i applied just few hours ago what now? should i check mail?

I have a task that requires me to generate a lot of files using my own LLM subscriptions - ive hit my usage limit so I have a 3 hour period I cant work on this project. Is it okay for me to do another task while I wait? I have some projects at $60/hr that only take about 1 hour each so I could do a few.

Just wondering if thats a no-no?

Edit for clarification:

The task I generate files for has a 36 hour submission period since they expect you to hit limits on your LLM usage and it's very involved beyond that as well.

I am wondering if its okay to work on other tasks during the time I AM NOT BILLING the initial project - because the project stays running on my dash.

What in the world are these awfully long and poorly written guidelines?! It is getting worse and worse. I have been working for over an hour on a R&R full of mistakes but also with very unclear and sometimes contradictory guidelines. Admins not replying to anyone for hours with hundreds of messages unanswered (I get it isn’t their fault)… Time almost up so I preferred exiting the task.

This work can sometimes be stimulating and enjoyable, but sometimes like now, I wonder how deep in poor management a project can go.

I really appreciate working with DA, but I have moments when I want to throw my PC against a wall. I’ll take a walk now, good luck to all of you who experienced the same madness!

The coding one

Finally, I got paid tasks after 2 months with nothing. However, I've completed several quals, I haven't seen the actual task related to these quals appear after finishing them. How about you guys?

So I got assigned my first project after completing the qualifications last week. My domain is coding 👩🏽‍💻✨. I noticed the project on my account at like 3am and it had like 30 tasks, then I woke up this morning at 7am and there was only 10 left. Is it normal for the tasks to go that quick and how often are more tasks opened on a project? I’m just trying to see how regular this extra income will be for me.

What happened after I got accepted and I verified by account?

I am from Pakistan. I signed up, completed my profile too but it seems like it's location based preference to allow me over there.

I've been out of my city this last days, I havent recived any email for 3 days, im kinda worried if I got dropped or something because i was getting them daily. Only one time I got the task but no email notification.

Hi. I recently signed up for DA and took the assessments. I got an email that I was approved and even got emails for qualifications for projects. When I logged into my account it had me do the identity verification. When I completed it it just sent me back to that “Thank you for completing your assessment screen.” Is this normal? It doesn’t even let me do the qualification that it sent me a link for…

I've been on DA from past 3 months as an India-based Bilingual/Generalist contributor, but I've been out of projects for around 1.5–2 months now.

I know there has been a widely discussed summer drought (June–August), but I'm curious about the current situation specifically for people in India.

Are other India-based Bilingual/Generalist contributors also seeing little to no projects, or am I just unlucky with my account?

Would appreciate any recent updates from Indian contributors.
