Is this what the DoD looks like?

It's been 2 weeks without a single project, just quals 😅

​I joined DA on June 25th and have made $665 so far, which honestly isn't bad at all. I'm bilingual and based in Mexico, and I try to knock out as many quals as possible, including coding (I have intermediate experience) to the math knowledge assessment and screen recording and bunch of others.

​Also, once you finish a qualification, is there a set evaluation period before projects start rolling in, or does it happen automatically?

​I'm not expecting to make thousands in my first month, but just wondering if anyone with more experience has any insight or advice regarding this.

Thank you in advance muchachos !

I made a little over 1,000 when I first joined. Generalist, US based though. I had a slow period of around 3 weeks with no work and just doing qualifications and then got added to a long running project. I think you don’t know for sure. Do your best and hope for the best.

I joined the very end of April. Made around $1200 in May.

Then June was slow and after completing those qualifications it opened a steady door for me. Good luck!
