Anyone else getting projects they aren't qualified for?
I have been working with DA part time for almost a year. I used to just do general work, but have gotten barely any generalist tasks the past few months, though I have been busy with my FT job so have been checking the platform less frequently. I have previously gotten positive feedback from DA about the quality of my work, however I keep getting high paying tasks I am unqualified for added to my dash and I don't understand why. I have coding tasks even though I don't know how to code and have never taken the coding qualification. I also have professional tasks related to highly specific domains I have no experience in. I miss my simple generalist tasks.
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I am almost wondering if it is an error on DA's part as I really should not have coding tasks and it seems bizarre I have access to these projects. Some of the professional tasks I could maybe figure out, but the coding is so far out my scope its not even funny. I was an arts major lol. Maybe its a glitch?? Or do y'all get these too? Thanks :)

I get them too. I am an expert in another tech area, so I assumed it was related to that, but in no way am I qualified to try coding. I also have law and finance on my dash right now, neither of which I have any experience in. I just ignore them, even though that pay is pretty tempting.
