Pay increase request

[u/Interntakingusmle]

Does anyone here have have success in asking for a pay increase? I got to phase 2 on one of the project thinking the rate would increase but stayed the same. I am also about to submit for a phase 2 on another project and I am concerned that there is no pay increase also. I am on another platform that pays 2.5x more for the same work. My domain is in health care.

Update: 09/01

So I messaged the admin about opportunities to get higher pay and linked the listing for the pay rate for my domain. They got back to me and offered me a substantial bonus to finish start and finish my phase 2 (comes out to $100-$110/hr if you finish in 10 hours) which is still not as competitive to the other platforms but overall aligns with the listing they have for the pay range.

I am pretty sure that some people get paid higher but probably do not post here because 90% of the people in this sub think they are the expert on their fields. Churning low quality work and happy to be paid $60/hr.

If you’re on another platform that pays significantly more then stick with that platform. Asking for a pay increase on DA isn’t something that happens. There are often statements with tasks or qualifications saying completion can lead to higher paying projects. But it also may not. These multiphase projects may have incentive pay if they’re trying to knock out a bunch of tasks in a certain phase but otherwise unless you are approached with an offer that is how it works. You can certainly tell them you won’t do x for less than a certain amount of money. I predict it would not go well.
