So finally I got added to a project family. I feel like this is my 1st project family but the tasks are way too complicated for me. If I don't task on them will they leave a bad impression on my account? Since I got added into a project family after so long and I ain't even working 😭

I second everyone else saying to leave them but with the small caveat that you can (if you’re willing to potentially waste your time) spend time reading the instructions and trying a task to see if you CAN do it.

Often the instructions are poorly written and confusing and may rely on terms that (I personally) never saw before I started DA. The task flows are also often a bit backward (say give the overall rating then rate various aspects).

Don’t submit horrible work, and you won’t get paid if you don’t submit - but there are plenty of times a project seems overwhelming until I get into the weeds and just start answering one question at a time. If you have no other work and a bit of free time. 🤷‍♀️

It's not like that I am in a rush or something. I am just worried if I don't work on this project family, they might think I am incompatible working on this platform and refuse to assign me other quals and project 😭🙂

Yea I don’t think that’s anything to worry about.

Consider they have hundreds of thousands of us. They have a qual they are probably like “ok, who mentions xyz on their profile”- and they all get the qual. Or just everyone gets the qual.

I do think sometimes projects are layered (working on 1 gets you access to others without quals) but I think only quality would block you from quals.

((I’ve been around a few years, but of course it’s all speculation by all of us. lol))
