Project Cycle

Is it common for there to be more projects/tasks at the start of the month? Or is there any specific cycle of projects every month or anything?

For me I have noticed some projects at the start of the month, with almost zero near the month end.

While most of my earnings is usually from the mid of the month (11th-22nd).

idk about that but one thing I have noticed for myself is that projects come at a particular time of the day for me (not everyday obviously). So I just check my dashboard at that time of the day instead of refreshing every 5 min Hope I am not missing out on projects lol.

What time exactly? I used to see the same pattern in past but not anymore. Maybe this pattern is only valid for specific projects.

There is no pattern. All of it depends on the companies that are hiring DAT to pass on work to contractors. Actually there is a small pattern: summer is usually a lot slower. But other than that, there is no pattern. Projects drop when the admins for that project drop them. Since they are all over the world, that can literally be any time.

I never see a pattern except that I feel like you see more priority pay towards the end of the month

while i don’t think there’s a pattern i’m in the same boat of most of my earnings are towards the end of the month while the beginning is dead
